Seminar: Understanding tropical precipitation and atmospheric circulation responses to climate change

Rob Chadwick (Met Office UK) Future projections of tropical precipitation show large uncertainties at the regional scales relevant to climate change impacts. In order to narrow this uncertainty and produce robust, useable information for climate change adaptation, the mechanisms that drive regional precipitation change in the tropics must first be understood. In particular, the response of the tropical atmospheric circulation to warming is crucial. This seminar will describe results from a number of approaches that have been applied to this... View Article
