Synoptic-statistical approaches to regional downscaling of IPCC 21st century climate projections: A Hawaiian Islands study Oliver Timm, International Pacific Research Center, SOEST, University of Hawai'i at Manoa Henry Diaz, NOAA/ESRL/CIRES, Boulder, Colorado Thomas Giambelluca Dept. Geography, University of Hawai'i at Manoa

IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report, 2007: (more than 20 climate models took part) precipitation change: likely to decrease but for Hawaii, no robust signals Models show a drier climate Models results inconsistentMost models: drier climate Most models: wetter climate No significant change Models show a wetter climate Introduction:

H H Synoptic (=weather-related) studies: Months with high/low precipitation in Hilo site of Big Island [sea level pressure, wet season (Nov-Apr) between ] High PreciptationLow Preciptation
