Un nuovo scenario per le simulazioni climatiche HIGHLANDER

Posted

Oltre allo scenario ad alto impatto denominato Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5, che indica una possibile traiettoria nella concentrazione dei gas serra senza nessuna iniziativa di mitigazione, sono state concluse le simulazioni climatiche sotto RCP4.5, uno scenario intermedio che prevede alcune iniziative di controllo e riduzione delle emissioni. I nuovi dati permetteranno di fare proiezioni […]

Esteso il periodo delle simulazioni climatiche: 90 anni di dati

Posted

Le simulazioni numeriche ad altissima risoluzione, realizzate in HIGHLANDER dal CMCC per il downscaling delle reanalisi e delle proiezioni climatiche, in precedenza disponibili 1989 al 2050, sono state estese dal 1981 al 2070.Da un lato questo permette di coprire due periodi di riferimento per i decenni più recenti, 1981-2010 e 1991-2020, raccomandati dalla World Meteorological […]
