Climate change scenarios for the region
 The workpackage compiles and presents general, regional and site specific information on climate change scenarios, based on existing General Circulation Model (GCM) simulations, and on downscaling experiments ? both dynamic (through regional climate models), and empirical. The primary selection of GCMs are the five selected by the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (ACIA). The focus is on temperature and precipitation, with discussions on wind, snow cover, and runoff. The Workpackage cooperates with the workpackage dealing with climate trends on snow cover change scenarios. Contact Nils Roar Saelthun for more information. |
