Description :
This paper investigates the likely changes in the thermal climate of the Pennine region that would be associated with different climate change scenarios. Estimates of future temperature change are converted into attendant changes in climatic potential for cultivation (measured by annual accumulated temperatures above 6°C). Scenarios for individual airflow types are developed, illustrating the benefits of a synoptic climatological approach, and the results are compared with output from recent GCMs.
