Changes of Atmospheric Water Balance over China under the IPCC SRES A1B Scenario Based on RegCM3 Simulations

Probabilistic projections of climate change over China under the SRES A1B scenario using 28 AOGCMs

Probabilistic projection of climate change consists of formulating the climate change information in a probabilistic manner at either global or regional scale. This can produce useful results for studies of the impact of climate change impact and change mitigation. In the present study, a simple yet effective approach is proposed with the purpose of producing probabilistic results of climate ch...

The impact of climate change on summer maize phenology in the northwest plain of Shandong province under the IPCC SRES A1B scenario

Climate change will affect agricultural production. Combining a climate model and a crop growth model furnishes a good approach for analyzing this effect quantitatively. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of climate change on summer maize phenology in northwest Shandong province under the A1B climate scenario using a regional climate model and the CERES-Maize growth model. The r...

Changes in atmospheric sulfur burdens and concentrations and resulting radiative forcings under IPCC SRES emission scenarios for 1990-2100

High-resolution prediction of leaf onset date in Japan in the 21st century under the IPCC A1B scenario

Reports indicate that leaf onset (leaf flush) of deciduous trees in cool-temperate ecosystems is occurring earlier in the spring in response to global warming. In this study, we created two types of phenology models, one driven only by warmth (spring warming [SW] model) and another driven by both warmth and winter chilling (parallel chill [PC] model), to predict such phenomena in the Japanese I...

The atmospheric water balance over the Murray-Darling Basin, based on numerical weather prediction output

The hydroclimate of the Murray-Darling Basin in southeast Australia has been investigated by estimating the Basin’s atmospheric water balance, based on numerical weather prediction (NWP) output. The water balance has been calculated for the period from 2000 to 2004, using archived output from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s mesoscale model, the Limited Area Prediction System (LAPS). The ...
