  1. Example Displays of Tri-Decadal Monthly Mean CRCM4-CGCM3 A2 Fields for Air Temperature and Precipitation on AMNO 45-km Grid Dynamical downscaling carried out by Ouranos Consortium Tri-decadal computations and displays done by Ouranos Consortium as part of contract for DFO ACCASP Summary deck prepared by J. Loder, 5 June 2012

  2. Methodology Monthly-mean fields for individual years taken from down-scaling of the 5 members of the CCCMA CGCM3/T47 ensemble for 20C3M and SRES A2, using CRCM4.2.3 Down-scaling to a North American (AMNO) grid with 45-km resolution that has broader coverage of the Canadian Arctic than the NARCCAP grid Variables: Air Temperature (TAS) and Precipitation (PCP) Tri-decadal monthly Means and Interannual Standard Deviations (IASTDs) computed for the periods 1971-2000 and 2041-2070 Climate Change (CC) fields computed as the differences between the tri-decadal Mean and IASTD fields for the two periods (2041-2070 minus 1971-2000) Example Displays Tri-decadal Mean and IASTD fields for TAS and PCP for each of February (winter) and August (summer) for each period, based on ensemble means Change fields for Means and IASTDs for each of TAS and PCP for each of February and August
