¥Assess regional climate change for North America by downscaling 4 AOGCMs
with 6 regional climate models (RegCM3, MM5, Scripps RSM, Canadian RCM, WRF, Hadley Centre
regional model).
¥About 12-15 combinations will be simulated.
¥Project phases and status:
¥Phase
I: RCMs driven by reanalysis
(1979-2004) to
examine uncertainty in RCMs (completed)
¥Phase IIa: RCMs driven by AOGCM output for 20th century climate (1971-2000) to examine combined GCM-RCM uncertainty (in progress)
¥Phase IIb: RCMs driven by AOGCM output from SRES A2 scenario (2041-2070) (in progress)
