Regionalizing Global Climate Variations: A Study of the Southeastern US Regional Climate provides a framework for understanding regional climate in light of the many assessment reports being released regularly by international organizations. The book emphasizes global climate variations to explore the concept of the regionalization of those variations. Focusing on the climate of the Southeastern United States as a lens, it provides a template for targeting regional climate change in the context of global variability. It includes coverage of weather extremes, such as tornadoes, cyclones, and drought, and approaches the subject from a holistic perspective, including atmospheric, oceanic, and land components. The Southeastern United States is a particularly relevant case study, given the fact that it is the largest quarter of the United States and has the most coastlines, often resulting in a higher number of extreme weather events. This practical approach to understanding climate at the regional/local scale makes the book a valuable resource for students and researchers in Meteorology, Climate Science, Oceanography, Environmental Science, and other applied sectors. - Includes descriptions of the morphology of weather extremes such as tropical cyclones and tornadoes - Discusses the influence of climate change on weather extremes - Presents a holistic or interdisciplinary approach to understanding regional climate that includes features of atmospheric science, meteorology, oceanography, and hydrology

This book illustrates the role played by nations and organizations in providing the necessary weather and climate data and products, and describes the contributions of nations towards the implementation of global observing and information systems, research programs and intergovernmental assessments to provide policy-makers with a clear representation of the climate system, including climate variability and change.--Publisher's description.

Climate Variability Modeling Tools And Agricultural Decision Making

Climate Variability Modeling Tools And Agricultural Decision Making written by Angel Utset Suastegui and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2009 with Business & Economics categories.

New policies must be adopted under climate change conditions to secure sustainability of agricultural crop production. Despite the proved reliability of present climate and crop-growth modelling tools for climate risk assessments, they have been not been noticeably applied for supporting agricultural decision-making in practice. The EU proposal AGRIDEMA provided initial contacts and collaborations between "developers" and potential "users", basically researchers and experts at agricultural services. This book reviews the AGRIDEMA results. The book is designed to introduce the currently-available climate and crop-growth models, to summarise their potentialities as tools to provide reliable Climate-Change adaptation options in agriculture and to show several examples of the combined use such tools in specific climate-change agricultural risks in several countries.

Assessing Potential Biophysical And Socioeconomic Impacts Of Climate Change On Forest Based Communities

Assessing Potential Biophysical And Socioeconomic Impacts Of Climate Change On Forest Based Communities written by T. B. Williamson and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2008 with Science categories.

This report presents methods for assessing the potential biophysical and socioeconomic impacts of climate change at scales relevant to forest-based communities. The methods are tested and demonstrated by estimating such impacts for the community of Vanderhoof, British Columbia. First, spatially referenced climate histories and climate scenarios are developed for a 200 km 200 km study area surrounding Vanderhoof. Second, these climate data are linked to new models and methods for projecting changes in productivity, species, and wildfire risk under conditions of climate change. Third, methods for linking changes in productivity to potential changes in harvest rate and then to potential changes in aggregate household income are developed and applied. Finally, an approach for linking, presenting, and comparing the results from the various methods is presented. This approach takes account of both climate change and parallel socioeconomic changes occurring in a communitys external environment and acknowledges the inherent uncertainty in climate and socioeconomic scenarios. The approach is based on the development of multitiered scenario radar maps, which are then compressed into a single radar map providing a concise summary of potential climate impacts on a particular community. The assessment of community vulnerability tends to be specific to a particular location. Nevertheless, the Vanderhoof case study highlights areas where forest-based communities may be uniquely exposed, sensitive, and therefore potentially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Climate change may increase fire risk in forests surrounding communities. It is also likely to affect timber supplies (positively, negatively, or both), thereby causing changes in local economic activity and increasing instability and uncertainty. Moreover, these responses may be variable and nonlinear over time. The Vanderhoof experience with the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) shows that climate change has the potential to affect natural capital near other forestbased communities. Reduction of the natural capital asset base supporting any community will ultimately result in negative socioeconomic impacts. Governments (municipal, provincial, and federal) could use the approaches described here to identify locations where natural capital is at greatest risk. This information is needed to develop strategies for either protecting existing natural capital, replacing lost capital, or transforming exposed natural capital to alternative types of assets that are less sensitive to climate change.
