Synopsis

Presents the findings of an international, industry-sponsored global climate research group, the Model Evaluation Consortium for Climate Assessment (MECCA). The book focuses on the impact-orientated needs of policymakers and the private sector, and gives an overview of how climate change predictions are affected by the use of different model types including ocean, atmosphere, sea-ice and land-surface schemes. The impacts of climate change on vegetation, severe weather and agriculture productivity are assessed. An invaluable reference for researchers in climate change, this book will provide the international policy community with a range of probable climate changes that are credible in the context of today's knowledge.
