Presentation Transcript

  1. WCIAS Strategy: • Filling critical gaps in weather and climate impact assessment science • Developing integrating methods • Moving toward decision-making as a centerpiece • Promoting integration of assessment science activities at NCAR, nationally and internationally

  2. Filling Critical Gaps: • Uncertainty Goal: To support improved responses to weather and climate risks by understanding and characterizing the uncertainties affecting the decision-making process. • Extreme Events Goal: To increase the resilience of human populations to extreme weather and climate events through improved tools, modeling and data. • Climate and Human Health Goal: To catalyze and nurture an interdisciplinary research community studying the effects of climate on human health.

  3. Project Examples: • Tebaldi et al. – Improving the ability to use AOGCM projections on a regional scale by characterizing their uncertainty • Feddema et al.– Exploring uncertainty in land cover as a forcing for future scenarios • Meehl et al. – Characterizing heat wave and frost day frequency in the future, two extreme events of interest, using GCMs • Amman et al. – Evaluating uncertainty of fundamental assumptions underpinning paleo simulations [poster]
