Global warming

Auteur :
HULME, M.

Description :
The global-mean surface air temperature record has been broken 4 times during the 1990s (1990, 1995, 1997 and 1998) ensuring that the present decade has been the warmest since 1860. Comparison of climate model predictions against the observed temperature of the 1990s therefore provides a relevant, independent test of how good climate model predictions are. The A. makes some observations first on general approaches to scenario construction and, secondly, on downscaling methods.
