LA29 Methodology for V&A:

SIS06, Methodology include: Retrospective study (interdisciplinary) Statistical downscaling Pilot Project SRES emission scenarios

Interdisciplinary teams work. The linkage between climate and non-climate scenarios will be achieved by Interdisciplinary teams work. Future Global and Regional Scenarios (Tools like MAGICC & SCENGEN, PRECIS ?,…).

Climate Information used by the three projects includes 1. Historical climatic data. a. Local/regional data. Public domain databases. National Meteorological Services & Local stations b. Re-analyses (NCEP) 2. Aerological DataBases: CARDS, PACS-SONET 3. GCM outputs.

Variables required for I, A & V assessment: Temperature (Max., Min., Mean) Precipitation Solar Radiation Winds Runoff Also, some non-climate variables: power generation, yields, population growth, GDP, etc.

Some Critical Uncertainties in the projects are: Spatial downscaling of climate and socio-economic scenarios. Behaviour of Extreme Events in climate change scenarios: trends, frequency, intensity. Baseline.

Spatial and Temporal scales include: Spatial scale: Local / Regional. Global. For climate change scenarios and downscaling techniques Temporal: daily, monthly, seasonal, annual, decadal. Baseline: 1961-1990 or at least 30 years of data of the variables described.

Other projects in the region: “Development of a regional climate model system for Central America”. Supported by NOAA-OGP. PI. Dr. Jorge A. Amador, CIGEFI-UCR, Costa Rica. “Climate variability and its impacts on the Mexican, Central American and Caribbean region”. Supported by IAI as a CRN. PI. Dr. Victor Magaña, UNAM, México. “When Oceans conspire: Examining the effect of concurrent SST anomalies in the Tropical Atlantic and Pacific on Caribbean Rainfall”. Supported by IAI as a PESCA project. PIs. Drs. Michael Taylor and Anthony Chen, UWI, Jamaica. “Multi-objective study of climate variability for mitigation in the trade convergence climate complex”. Supported by IAI as a CRN. PI. M.Sc. Pilar Cornejo, ESPOL, Ecuador.
