Climate projections are performing on the basis of three extreme emission scenarios A2 scenarios - High A1B scenarios – Moderate B2 scenarios – Low (on going) Two GCMs are- HadCM3, CGCM3
Applicable to: Sub-grid scales (small islands, point processes) Complex/ heterogeneous environments Extreme events
Predictands (to predict) 1. Maximum air temperature. 2. Minimum air temperature. 3. Precipitation Predictors (26 variables such as-MSL, RH, WIND, HEGIHT, TEMPERATURE at different atmospheric levels Tools used for statistical downscaling
Following procedure are performed during downscaling: Check Quality of the data ◦ Screening of predictor variable ◦ Screening of predictor variable. Calibration and validation of GCM with station data Synthesis of observed data using weather generator Generation of Climate change scenario using calibration parameters

Maximum Temperature Projections considering A2 and A1B Scenarios Maximum Increase in monsoon period Maximum Increase in pre monsoon period
Temperature Change : Temperature will increase gradually in the future period. Rate of Temperature change is greater for A2 than A1B.
Precipitation change: For A2 scenario mean precipitation will increase in overall period of the year. Consecutive dry day will increase in monsoon and pre monsoon period, that denotes that rainfall intensity or rainfall duration may increase for that period. For A1B scenario mean precipitation will increase in monsoon and pre-monsoon period.
Maximum Increase of in monsoon period Maximum Increase in Pre monsoon period Maximum Temperature Projections considering A2 and A1B Scenarios
Precipitation Projections considering HadCM3 A2 Scenarios
Precipitation Projections considering A1B Scenarios
Precipitation Change : For A2 scenario mean precipitation will increase in pre-monsoon, post monsoon and monsoon period. For the case of A1B scenario it is observed that mean precipitation will increase in pre-monsoon, post monsoon and monsoon period. Precipitation of the year will be delayed about one month during monsoon
Maximum Temperature Projections considering A2 and A1B Scenarios
Precipitation Projections considering HadCM3 A2 Scenarios
Precipitation Projections considering CGCM3 A1B Scenarios
Precipitation change: For A2 scenario mean precipitation will increase in monsoon period consecutive wet day will decrease that denotes rainfall intensity will increase. Decrease of precipitation in post monsoon season. In A1B scenario mean precipitation will decrease in pre monsoon and monsoon period.
