A semiempirical downscaling approach for predicting regional temperature impacts associated with climatic change

Journal Article Sailor, D J ; Li, X - Journal of Climate

A statistical downscaling approach is developed for generating regional temperature change predictions from GCM results. The approach utilizes GCM free atmosphere output and surface observations in a framework conceptually similar to the model output statistics approach common in the forecasting community. The appropriateness of this approach is demonstrated through a comparison of GCM and observed free atmosphere variables. Seasonal downscaling models are presented for eight sites within four community climate model (CCM) grid cells in the US. The majority of these models are capable of explaining more than 90% of the variance in the temperature time series. The results indicatemore »« less

Downscaled climate change impacts on agricultural water resources in Puerto Rico

Journal Article Harmsen, E W ; Miller, N L ; Schlegel, N J ; ... - Agricultural and Water Management

The purpose of this study is to estimate reference evapotranspiration (ET{sub o}), rainfall deficit (rainfall - ET{sub o}) and relative crop yield reduction for a generic crop under climate change conditions for three locations in Puerto Rico: Adjuntas, Mayaguez, and Lajas. Reference evapotranspiration is estimated by the Penman-Monteith method. Rainfall and temperature data were statistically downscaled and evaluated using the DOE/NCAR PCM global circulation model projections for the B1 (low), A2 (mid-high) and A1fi (high) emission scenarios of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report on Emission Scenarios. Relative crop yield reductions were estimated from a function dependent watermore »« less

Ecological indicators of global climate change: A research framework

Journal Article Bella, D A ; Jacobs, R ; Li, H

Large-scale environmental research efforts are conducted under frameworks that provide a common basis for evaluating research in many diverse fields. Such frameworks should be subjected to critical review to determine if they meet crucial expectations. In the case of the US Global Change Research Program, we perceive that most research follows a framework that we define as the predictive model framework that we define as the predictive model framework. We believe this framework is insufficient for resolving the unprecedented predicaments posed by global change. We recommend a complementary framework, the system response framework, which directs research toward useful indicators ofmore »« less
