Dynamical influences on European climate: an uncertain future.

Decomposition of the large-scale atmospheric state driving downscaling: a perspective on dynamical downscaling for regional climate study

In this study, we provide a perspective on dynamical downscaling that includes a comprehensive view of multiple downscaling methods and a strategy for achieving better assessment of future regional climates. A regional climate simulation is generally driven by a large-scale atmospheric state obtained by a global climate simulation. We conceptualize the large-scale state based on reconstruction ...

European Climate Change Policy in a Global Context

Introduction The purpose of this paper is to analyse the evolution and state of policy towards climate change in the European Union (EU), to assess prospects for the EU meeting its carbon dioxide CO2 emission target, and to consider future options for EU climate policy and their international implications. Because detailed accounts of the science are available elsewhere, for this paper it is su...

A Review of the Effects of Climate Change with an Emphasis on Burden of Waterborne Diseases

Background and Purpose: Climate change has major impact on water cycle, resulting in effects on water resources, the frequency and severity of droughts, floods due to severe rainfall, natural environments, society, and economics and human health.  In this paper, surveys on different models of climate change as well as the effects of climate change on the burden of waterborne diseases and also, ...

The Impact of Climate Change on Grain Yield and Yield Variability in Iran

In this paper, we have examined the effect of climate variables on the yield average and variability of major grain crops (rice, maize, and wheat) in Iran from 1983 to 2014. For this purpose, we made use of the Just and Pope Production Function crop yields panel data. The results revealed that the influences of climate variables were different in the crops. The time trend positively influenced ...
