Mediterranean Climate Change Scenarios

One role of the Climatic Research Unit within MEDALUS has been to prepare regional scenarios of future climate change due to global warming. These scenarios are based on results from General Circulation Models (GCMs). Scenarios should be seen as 'internally consistent pictures of a plausible future climate' - they are not definite predictions.

Scenarios have been produced to show:

• The change in mean climate. For further information, contact: j.palutikof@uea.ac.uk

• The change in daily rainfall. For further information, contact: c.goodess@uea.ac.uk

• The change in daily temperatures. For further information, contact: j.palutikof@uea.ac.uk
