21st century changes in the European climate: uncertainties derived from an ensemble of regional climate model simulations
climate model (RCM) simulations for 1961–2100. The RCM takes boundary conditions from seven global climate models (GCMs) under four emission scenarios. One GCM was run three times under one emission scenario differing only in initial conditions. The ensemble is used to; (i) evaluate the simulated climate for 1961–1990, (ii) assess future climate change and (iii) illustrate uncertainties in futu...
متن کاملCommitted changes in tropical tree cover under the projected 21st century climate change
Warming and drought pose a serious threat to tropical forest. Yet the extent of this threat is uncertain, given the lack of methods to evaluate the forest tree cover changes under future climate predicted by complex dynamic vegetation models. Here we develop an empirical approach based on the observed climate space of tropical trees to estimate the maximum potential tropical tree cover (MPTC) i...
متن کاملStrong sensitivity of late 21st century climate to projected changes in short-lived air pollutants
[1] This study examines the impact of projected changes (A1B ‘‘marker’’ scenario) in emissions of four short-lived air pollutants (ozone, black carbon, organic carbon, and sulfate) on future climate. Through year 2030, simulated climate is only weakly dependent on the projected levels of short-lived air pollutants, primarily the result of a near cancellation of their global net radiative forcin...
متن کاملCMIP 5 model simulations of historical and projected climate extremes in the United States are assessed . CMIP 5 CLIMATE MODEL ANALYSES Climate Extremes in the United States
T his is the fourth in a series of BAMS articles on climate extremes in the United States (U.S.). These papers are based on workshops where leading scientists in the field came together to determine how best to assess the state of the science in understanding long-term climate variability and changes in various types of extreme events affecting the United States. The first workshop focused on s...
متن کاملThe physical basis for increases in precipitation extremes in simulations of 21st-century climate change.
Global warming is expected to lead to a large increase in atmospheric water vapor content and to changes in the hydrological cycle, which include an intensification of precipitation extremes. The intensity of precipitation extremes is widely held to increase proportionately to the increase in atmospheric water vapor content. Here, we show that this is not the case in 21st-century climate change...
