Presentation Outline
• Overview of the Climate System
• Modeling of Climate Change
• General Circulation Model (GCM)
• IPCC SRES Scenarios
• Regional Climate Model (RCM)
• Climatic Modeling at BUET
Climate Models
• Climate models are computer-based simulations that use
mathematical formulas to re-create the chemical and
physical processes that drive Earth’s climate. To “run” a
model, scientists divide the planet into a 3-dimensional grid,
apply the basic equations, and evaluate the results.
• Atmospheric models calculate winds, heat transfer,
radiation, relative humidity, and surface hydrology within
each grid and evaluate interactions with neighboring points.
Climate models use quantitative methods to simulate the
interactions of the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, and
ice.
General Circulation Model (GCM)
• General Circulation Models (GCMs) are a class of computerdriven models for weather forecasting, understanding climate
and projecting climate change, where they are commonly
called Global Climate Models.
• Three dimensional GCM's discretise the equations for fluid
motion and energy transfer and integrate these forward in
time. They also contain parameterizations for processes such as convection - that occur on scales too small to be
resolved directly.
• Atmospheric GCMs (AGCMs) model the atmosphere and
impose sea surface temperatures. Coupled atmosphereocean GCMs (AOGCMs, e.g. HadCM3, EdGCM, GFDL CM2.X,
ARPEGE-Climate) combine the two models.
GCM typical horizontal resolution of between 250 and 600 km, 10 to 20 vertical
layers in the atmosphere and sometimes as many as 30 layers in the oceans.

Special Report on Emissions
Scenarios (SRES)
• The Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES)
was a report prepared by the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) for the Third Assessment Report
(TAR) in 2001, on future emission scenarios to be used for
driving global circulation models to develop climate
change scenarios.
• It was used to replace the IS92 scenarios used for the
IPCC Second Assessment Report of 1995. The SRES
Scenarios were also used for the Fourth Assessment
Report (AR4) in 2007.
SERS Emission Scenarios
• A1 - a future world of very rapid economic growth, global
population that peaks in mid-century and declines
thereafter, and the rapid introduction of new and more
efficient technologies. Three sub groups: fossil intensive
(A1FI), non-fossil energy sources (A1T), or a balance
across all sources (A1B).
• A2 - A very heterogeneous world. The underlying theme
is that of strengthening regional cultural identities, with
an emphasis on family values and local traditions, high
population growth, and less concern for rapid economic
development.
• B1 - a convergent world with the same global population,
that peaks in mid-century and declines thereafter, as in
the A1 storyline.
• B2 - a world in which the emphasis is on local solutions
to economic, social and environmental sustainability.
A1
• The A1 scenarios are of a more integrated world. The A1 family of
scenarios is characterized by:
– Rapid economic growth.
– A global population that reaches 9 billion in 2050 and then
gradually declines.
– The quick spread of new and efficient technologies.
– A convergent world - income and way of life converge between
regions. Extensive social and cultural interactions worldwide.
• There are subsets to the A1 family based on their technological
emphasis:
– A1FI - An emphasis on fossil-fuels.
– A1B - A balanced emphasis on all energy sources.
– A1T - Emphasis on non-fossil energy sources.
A2
• The A2 scenarios are of a more divided world. The A2
family of scenarios is characterized by:
–
–
–
–
A world of independently operating, self-reliant nations.
Continuously increasing population.
Regionally oriented economic development.
Slower and more fragmented technological changes and
improvements to per capita income.
B1
• The B1 scenarios are of a world more integrated, and
more ecologically friendly. The B1 scenarios are
characterized by:
– Rapid economic growth as in A1, but with rapid changes towards
a service and information economy.
– Population rising to 9 billion in 2050 and then declining as in A1.
– Reductions in material intensity and the introduction of clean
and resource efficient technologies.
– An emphasis on global solutions to economic, social and
environmental stability.
B2
• The B2 scenarios are of a world more divided, but more
ecologically friendly. The B2 scenarios are characterized
by:
– Continuously increasing population, but at a slower rate than in
A2.
– Emphasis on local rather than global solutions to economic,
social and environmental stability.
– Intermediate levels of economic development.
– Less rapid and more fragmented technological change than in
A1 and B1

Regional details of Climate Change
Regional Climate modeling
• An RCM is a tool to add small-scale detailed information of
future climate change to the large-scale projections of a
GCM. RCMs are full climate models and as such are
physically based and represent most or all of the processes,
interactions and feedbacks between the climate system
components that are represented in GCMs.
• They take coarse resolution information from a GCM and
then develop temporally and spatially fine-scale information
consistent with this using their higher resolution
representation of the climate system.
• The typical resolution of an RCM is about 50 km in the
horizontal and GCMs are typically 500~300 km
RCM can simulate cyclones and
hurricanes

Conclusions
 Analysis of the historic data (1948-2007) shows that
daily maximum and minimum temperature has been
increased with a rate of 0.63 0C and 1.37 0C per 100
years respectively.
 PRECIS simulation for Bangladesh using A1B climate
change scenarios showed that mean temperature will be
increased at a constant rate 40C per 100 year from the
base line year 2000.
 On the other hand, mean rainfall will be increased by
4mm/d in 2050 and then decreased by 2.5mm/d in
2100 from base line year 2000.
Recommendations
• In future, Climate change predictions will be
generated in more finer spatial scale(~25km).
• PRECIS model will be simulated with other
Boundary condition data such as ECHAM5 using
A1B scenarios.
• Results will be compared with other regional
climate models such as RegCM3 etc.
