Dear UKPN,
Below is some information on an interesting workshop being held in Bremen in a few weeks.
Thanks,
Aisling
(UKPN Secretary)
Dear Colleagues,
Sorry for any cross-posting, but I would like to bring to your attention
an exciting workshop and discussion on "Climate Scenarios and Climate
Simulation" that will take place on September 5-6 in Bremen, Germany.
The aim of the workshop is to deliver to non-climate modelling experts a
working knowledge of climate science issues that are important for their
research, and how the impacts of climate change influence different
sectors and activities. This is a perfect opportunity to hear from and
interact with leaders in this field.
For a copy of the agenda or to register for this two-day workshop please
contact Lilian Schubert (Lilian.Schubert@awi.de) or the workshop
organiser Ruediger Gerdes (Ruediger.Gerdes@awi.de) by August 25. A
small fee of 40 euros will be charged to cover costs of the workshop.
Topics covered include:
• - An introduction to climate change due to greenhouse gases and
aerosols
• - Expected and observed changes in the Arctic
• - How are climate scenarios generated? What are the inputs, the
assumptions , the uncertainties of the scenarios that are e.g. used by
IPCC?
• - How do climate models work, what are their components? What are
the limitations of current climate models?
• - How large are the biases and uncertainties?
• - What results are produced by climate models, what experiments were
made and how do I get access to the data?
• - Can long-term natural variability be distinguished from
anthropogenic trends? What uncertainties into future projections are
introduced by natural climate variability? What observations do we have
concerning long-term variability and how well is this variability
reproduced by climate models?
There will be time to discuss specific needs from climate change
projections and what climate models can actually provide.
Hope to see you in Bremen.
