4 WFM 6311: Climate Risk Management © Dr. Akm Saiful Islam Regional details of Climate Change

5 WFM 6311: Climate Risk Management © Dr. Akm Saiful Islam Regional Climate modeling An RCM is a tool to add small-scale detailed information of future climate change to the large-scale projections of a GCM. RCMs are full climate models and as such are physically based and represent most or all of the processes, interactions and feedbacks between the climate system components that are represented in GCMs. They take coarse resolution information from a GCM and then develop temporally and spatially fine-scale information consistent with this using their higher resolution representation of the climate system. The typical resolution of an RCM is about 50 km in the horizontal and GCMs are typically 500~300 km

8 WFM 6311: Climate Risk Management © Dr. Akm Saiful Islam Regional Climate change modeling in Bangladesh PRECIS regional climate modeling is now running in Climate change study cell at IWFM,BUET. Uses LBC data from GCM (e.g. HadCM3). LBC data available for baseline, A2, B2, A1B scenarios up to 2100. Predictions for every hour. Needs more than 100 GB free space.

9 WFM 6311: Climate Risk Management © Dr. Akm Saiful Islam PRECIS PRECIS, developed by Hadley Center's, UK, is a regional climate modeling system. A regional climate model (RCM) is a dynamic downscaling tool that adds fine scale (high resolution) information to the large-scale projections of a global general circulation model (GCM). This makes for a more accurate representation of many surface features, such as complex mountain topographies and coastlines. RCMs are full climate models, and as such are physically based.

20 WFM 6311: Climate Risk Management © Dr. Akm Saiful Islam Summary  Analysis of the historic data (1948-2007) shows that daily maximum and minimum temperature has been increased with a rate of 0.63 0 C and 1.37 0 C per 100 years respectively.  PRECIS simulation for Bangladesh using A1B climate change scenarios showed that mean temperature will be increased at a constant rate 4 0 C per 100 year from the base line year 2000.  On the other hand, mean rainfall will be increased by 4mm/d in 2050 and then decreased by 2.5mm/d in 2100 from base line year 2000.

21 WFM 6311: Climate Risk Management © Dr. Akm Saiful Islam Recommendations In future, Climate change predictions will be generated in more finer spatial scale(~25km). PRECIS model will be simulated with other Boundary condition data such as ECHAM5 using A1B scenarios. Results will be compared with other regional climate models such as RegCM3 etc.
