Potential increase in floods in California’s Sierra Nevada under future climate projections
(2011-12)
California’s mountainous topography, exposure to occasional heavily moisture-laden
storm systems, and varied communities and infrastructures in low lying areas make it highly
vulnerable to floods. An important question ...
Predicting climate change impacts on water resources in the tropical Andes: Effects of GCM uncertainty
(2009-04-16)
There is a strong demand from policy makers for predictions about the potential impacts of climate change on water resources. Integrated environmental models, combining climatic and hydrologic models, are often
used for ...
Report of the fourth Expert Group Meeting of the project: understanding the potential economic impact of climate change in Latin America and the Caribbean: methodological issues in modelling the macroeconomic impacts of climate change in the Caribbean
(ECLAC, Subregional Headquarters for the Caribbean, 2011-12-21)
Advancing Climate Forecasting
(American Geophysical Union, 2017-11)
Climate forecasts predict weather averages and other climatic properties from a few weeks to a few years in advance. Increasingly, forecasters are using comprehensive models of Earth?s climate system to make such predictions. ...
An assessment of the economic impact of climate change on the health sector In Guyana
(ECLAC, Subregional Headquarters for the Caribbean, 2011-10-22)
Climate change is considered to be the most pervasive and truly global of all issues affecting humanity. It poses a serious threat to the environment, as well as to economies and societies. Whilst it is clear that the ...
Systematic temperature and precipitation biases in the CLARIS-LPB ensemble simulations over South America and possible implications for climate projections
(Inter-Research, 2016-04)
Within the framework of the CLARIS-LPB EU Project, a suite of 7 coordinated Regional Climate Model (RCM) simulations over South America driven by both the ERA-Interim reanalysis and a set of Global Climate Models (GCMs) ...
Climate Projections and Uncertainties over South America from MRI/JMA Global Model Experiments
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-10)
This paper analyses the climate change projected for the near and distant future in South America using MRI/JMA (Japanese Meteorological Agency) global model simulations with resolutions of 20 and 60 km. Changes in mean ...
Assessment of multi-model climate projections of water resources over South America CORDEX domain
(2020-01-01)
Future climate projections focusing on precipitation and water resource trends over South America (SA) are investigated using two ensembles. One of them is composed of three global climate models (GCMs), and the other of ...
