Tajikistan: Absolute Summer Precipitation Change 2080-2099

Absolute difference in mm between the projected mean precipitation during summer (June-July-August) for the period 2080 to 2099 (scenario A1B, using the average of predictions by 21 GCMs) and mean summer precipitation during the period 1980 to 1999.

Description

Absolute difference in mm between the projected mean precipitation during summer (June-July-August) for the period 2080 to 2099 (scenario A1B, using the average of predictions by 21 GCMs) and mean summer precipitation during the period 1980 to 1999.

WFP Workshop on "Climate Change and Food Security", Cairo, Egypt, 3-4 November 2008

Sources: Surface of mean summer precipitation for the period 1980 to 1999 generated by GIS Unit, ICARDA (described in: E. De Pauw, 2008: Climatic and Soil Datasets for the ICARDA Wheat Genetic Resource Collections of the Eurasia Region. Technical Note. ICARDA, Aleppo, Syria), and the same surface modified according to continental climate-change projections for the period 2080 to 2099 (published in: IPCC, Working Group I: The Physical Science Base, 2007: Assessment Report 4, Chapter 11: Regional Climate Projections; http://ipcc-wg1.ucar.edu/wg1/Report/suppl/AR4WG1_Ch11-suppl.html ).
