For example, Nash and Gleick (1991) and Schaake (1990) used the National Weather Service River Forecasting System NWSRFSS) to perform climate sensitivity analyses on the Animas River at Durango, Colorado.
In order to perform climate simulations with an ultra-high resolution, we are developing a non-hydrostatic atmospheric global model using the icosahedral grid in the horizontal direction.
As part of the Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP), several atmospheric general circulation models have performed climate simulations of the mid-Holocene (6 ka BP) and of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) climates (21 ka BP) using the same experimental design for boundary conditions, insolation and CO2 forcing.
Jon Cardin, who ran this year for Maryland attorney general, tried to require the state's colleges to perform climate surveys, only to face complete opposition from the schools.
To get a sense of what the larger trends are, I called up Clint Penick, an integrative biologist who performs climate change experiments on the local insects at North Carolina State University and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.
To detect if altitudinal heterogeneity may contribute in vulnerability of PAs to climate change, a climate change vulnerability assessment was performed using climate change velocity index.
Using a decision-scaling framework, the tool allows the user to perform a climate stress test to evaluate the performance and vulnerability to water supply shortfalls of local reservoir systems over a wide range of potential climate change scenarios using a generic systems model.
"We would typically need all of the spare cycles on your desktop for two to three months to perform a climate simulation," he said.
The tests were performed in climate chambers with a constant temperature of 22 ± 2°C and a light/dark rhythm of 16/8.
Several stayed until the very end to shake hands with Kilez More, an Austrian rapper invited to perform a climate change denial song he wrote.
