The North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program - Overview and Results

Explore a comprehensive 2-hour conference session from the 2012 AGU Fall Meeting focused on the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP). Delve into climate change results, regional simulations, and impact assessments across various sectors including water resources, wildfires, and ecosystems. Examine evaluations of present and future climate scenarios, particularly in the southeastern United States. Investigate methods for analyzing extreme temperatures, downscaling climate models, and quantifying uncertainties in projections. Learn about the implications of NARCCAP findings for regional climate change likelihood and integrated impact assessments. Gain insights into model errors in simulating precipitation and radiation fields, and understand how NARCCAP data is being used to characterize climate uncertainty for large river fish populations.
