Impact of climate change on the temperature and precipitation characteristics has been investigated using CanESM2 model for the RCP 2.6, 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios. Future time period was divided into three time slice of 30 year time period (i.e, 2020s, 2050s and 2080s). There has been larger magnitude of mean monthly and seasonal temperatures increment in 2050s time slice and then decrease in 2080s (@ the end of the century) under three RCP scenarios mentioned above.
I would appreciate if anybody tells me “Why mean monthly and seasonal temperatures magnitude becomes greater in 2050s time slice than 2080s (@ the end of the century) under RCP 2.6, 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios?”
HI Abdulkerim, this is true in case of peak and decline pathway i.e., RCP 2.6 but not for other scenarios esp. not for RCP 8.5 (emission scenario). I also used CanESM2 model outputs for these three scenarios and got the result like yours in RCP 2.6 only which is actually true based on the storylines of RCP 2.6. May be you need to re-check the downscaling process...
thanking you Rajesh
your valuable suggestion is highly appreciated...
