Projection of Climatic Change over Japan Due to Global Warming
... Surface air temperature is projected to increase more than 2°C around Japan in January. The temperature increase will be large at high latitudes, and the maximum increase will exceed 4°C around the Okhotsk Sea. A distinct annual change will be seen in the temperature increase in the future. The temp ...
