¥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)
