By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Asia Business Newsweekly -- Investigators publish new report on Science - Atmospheric Science. According to news originating from Saskatoon, Canada, by VerticalNews correspondents, research stated, “Climate changes over China from the present (1996-2005) to the future (2046-2055) under Representative Concentration Pathways 4.5 (RCP4.5) and Representative Concentration Pathways 8.5 (RCP8.5) scenarios are projected using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, version 3.7.1. The WRF model was driven by the Global 6-Hourly Bias-corrected Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, Phase 5 (CMIP5), Community Earth System Model dataset over China with a resolution of 30km.”
Funders for this research include National Key R&D Program of China, National Natural Science Foundation of China, China Special Fund for Meteorological Research in the Public Interest, Qinghai Province Science and Technology, Global Institute of Water Security at the University of Saskatchewan, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.
Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of Saskatchewan, “The results demonstrate that WRF downscaling generally simulates more reliable spatial distributions of surface air temperature and precipitation in China with higher spatial pattern correlations and closer in magnitude to the Community Climate System Model, version 4.0, simulation results, especially near mountain ranges. The WRF projections for temperature and precipitation for the future under the two emission scenarios are compared with the present simulation. Generally stronger warming, both in mean temperature and extreme statistics, is produced by WRF-RCP8.5 than by WRF-RCP4.5.”
According to the news editors, the research concluded: “The projections for precipitation changes are more varied with season and region for both scenarios.”
