DOWNSCALING CLIMATE PROJECTIONS TOWARDS COASTAL HYDRODYNAMICS MODELS

A Review of Downscaling Methods for Climate Change Projections

Downscaling Climate Models: Sharpening the Focus on Local-Level Changes

Uncertainty in Emissions Projections for Climate Models

Future global climate projections are subject to large uncertainties. Major sources of this uncertainty are projections of anthropogenic emissions. We evaluate the uncertainty in future anthropogenic emissions using a computable general equilibrium model of the world economy. Results are simulated through 2100 for carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFC...

Generalization of a statistical downscaling model to provide local climate change projections for Australia

Climate change information required for impact studies is of a much finer spatial scale than climate models can directly provide. Statistical downscaling models (SDMs) are commonly used to fill this scale gap. SDMs are based on the view that the regional climate is conditioned by two factors: (1) the largescale climatic state and (2) local physiographic features. An SDM based on an analogue app...

Avian distributions under climate change: towards improved projections.

Birds are responding to recent climate change in a variety of ways including shifting their geographic ranges to cooler climates. There is evidence that northern-temperate birds have shifted their breeding and non-breeding ranges to higher latitudes, and tropical birds have shifted their breeding ranges to higher altitudes. There is further evidence these shifts have affected migration strategi...
