CORDEX – An international climate downscaling initiative
The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) is backing an international initiative called the COordinated Regional climate Downscaling EXperiment (CORDEX). The goal of the initiative is to provide regionally downscaled climate projections for most land regions of the globe, as a compliment to the global climate model projections performed within the fifth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (...
متن کاملDRAFT DRAFT WCRP White Paper : Sea - Level Rise and Regional Impacts Based on WCRP Regional Sea Level
Recent projections of global sea-level rise by 2100 C.E. range from 20 cm (Meehl et al., 2007) to as much as 2 m (Vermeer and Rahmsdorf, 2009; Pfeffer et al., 2008), and sea level is projected to rise in the coming centuries even further. Without adaptation, a rise by 0.5 m would displace 3.8 million people in the most fertile part of the Nile River Delta (FitzGerald et al., 2008). A rise by 2 ...
متن کاملReliability of regional and global climate models to simulate precipitation extremes over India
Extreme precipitation events over India have resulted in loss of human lives and damaged infrastructures, food crops, and lifelines. The inability of climate models to credibly project precipitation extremes in India has not been helpful to longer-term hazards resilience policy. However, there have been claims that finer-resolution and regional climate models may improve projections. The claims...
متن کاملGlobal warming increases the frequency of river floods in Europe
EURO-CORDEX (Coordinated Downscaling Experiment over Europe), a new generation of downscaled climate projections, has become available for climate change impact studies in Europe. New opportunities arise in the investigation of potential effects of a warmer world on meteorological and hydrological extremes at regional scales. In this work, an ensemble of EURO-CORDEX RCP8.5 scenarios is used to ...
متن کاملDevelopment of Regional Climate Scenarios Using a Downscaling Approach
As the debate on potential climate change continues, it is becoming increasingly clear that the main concerns to the general public are the potential impacts of a change in the climate on societal and biophysical systems. In order to address these concerns researchers need realistic, plausible scenarios of climate change suitable for use in impacts analysis. It is the purpose of this paper to p...
