MODELLING CHANGES IN CLIMATE DUE TO ENHANCED CO2

Objective

THE UNDERSTAND THE DYNAMICAL RESPONSE OF THE ATMOSPHERE TO THE EXPECTED GLOBAL WARMING.

DOUBLING CO2 LEADS TO CHANGE IN STRATIFICATION, TEMPERATURE GRADIENT, TROPOPAUSE HEIGHT, WINDS AND MOISTURE CONTENT ALL OF WHICH MAY BE EXPECTED TO LEAD TO CHANGES IN THE BEHAVIOUR OF INDIVIDUAL SYNOPTIC SYSTEMS, STORMS TRACKS AND LARGE-SCALE STATIONARY WAVES. THESE CHANGES WILL BE INVESTIGATED USING IDEALISED NUMERICAL MODELS. BASED ON THE IDEAS ALREADY DEVELOPED AND NEW RESEARCH SUGGESTED BY THE STUDY, THE CHANGES FOUND BY THE MET OFFICE AND LMD WHEN CO2 IS DOUBLED WILL BE DIAGNOSED. IF APPROPRIATE, FURTHER SHORT EXPERIMENTS WILL BE CARRIED OUT USING THE MET OFFICE AND LMD MODELS.IF THE PHYSICAL REASONS FOR THE LINKAGES BETWEEN THE VARIOUS CHANGES CAN BE ESTABLISHED, THEN THE RESULTS WOULD ACHIEVE MORE CREDENCE.IN THIS WAY, REASONS FOR ANY DIFFERENCE IN THE RESULTS OBTAINED BY THE MET OFFICE AND LMD SHOULD BE CLARIFIED.

THE RESEARCH IS OF PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE AS GENERAL CIRCULATION STUDIES MOVE TOWARDS A DISCUSSION OF REGIONAL CHANGES.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Data not available

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.

Data not available

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
