  2. Aim of work is to give an answer • How to merge future global climatic trends with local climate variability? • How to work with climatic scenarios data for agriculture applications? ISTITUTO DI BIOMETEOROLOGIA - CONSIGLIO NAZIONALE DELLE RICERCHE WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (14-17 June 2005, Bologna, Italy)

  3. What is a Climatic Scenario? • Scenarios are images of how future might evolve. • Scenarios are NOT predictions or forecasts. • Scenarios should be based on internally consistent and reproducible sets of assumptions about main driving forces (population, economic growth, technology) and their relationships with climate.

  4. SRES: Main Scenarios hypothesis and their characteristics • A1 High emission • A2 Medium-high emission • B2 Medium- low emission • B1 Low emission Every climatic scenarios is based on assumptions on future expected condition called driving forces ISTITUTO DI BIOMETEOROLOGIA - CONSIGLIO NAZIONALE DELLE RICERCHE WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (14-17 June 2005, Bologna, Italy)

  5. For climatic scenarios a key factor is carbon dioxide emission • Climate scenarios are numerical simulations of atmosphere (GCM) with precise assumptions on future greenhouse gases emissions.

  7. First step to use scenarios application is to understand the real climate variability distribution on a defined territory. This is possible through … Data Spatialisation Zoning For each area, with available climatic scenarios’ data, is possible to perform Local Downscaling ISTITUTO DI BIOMETEOROLOGIA - CONSIGLIO NAZIONALE DELLE RICERCHE WORKSHOP ON CLIMATIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING FOR AGRICULTURE (14-17 June 2005, Bologna, Italy)

  15. ZONING definition To delimit and to identify homogenuos climatic areas based on their thermometric and pluviometric monthly climatology on a specific territory.

  16. ZONING methodology After spatialisation, taking into account the climatic variability for a single site, is possible, through GIS techniques, to use a PCA analysis of monthly climatology of rainfall and temperature. Unsupervised k-means clustering on PC scores images give a good results. Other methodologies of pattern recognition are today available.

  21. Statistical Downscaling GCM • Downscaling techniques have been developed in order to provide information on detailed scale. • Statistical downscaling is based on the assumption that regional climate is conditioned by the large-scale climatic state and local or regional physiographic features, such as topography, land-sea distribution and land use (e.g. von Storch 1999). • Based on this assumption, observed time series are used to establish an empirical relationship between local variables and large-scale variables. • Generally we use quantile regression method on daily data, with markovian adjustment for rainfall downscaling ( CLIMAGRI project) .
