Sensitivity of air quality to potential future climate change and emissions in the United States and major cities

Athanasios Nenes, Pengfei Liu

Simulated present and future air quality is compared for the years 2006-2010 and 2048-2052 over the contiguous United States (CONUS) using the Community Multi-scale Air Quality (CMAQ) model. Regionally downscaled present and future climate results are deve ...

Lake surface temperatures in a changing climate: a global sensitivity analysis

Alfred Johny Wüest, Martin Schmid, Stefan Hunziker

We estimate the effects of climatic changes, as predicted by six climate models, on lake surface temperatures on a global scale, using the lake surface equilibrium temperature as a proxy. We evaluate interactions between different forcing variables, the se ...

Springer Verlag2014

Evaluating the energy consumption of different design solutions during the design process is essential to reach energy targets. Conventionally, building energy performance is evaluated with energy simulations using a single input weather file (design or ty ...

Lessivage des polluants urbains et changement climatique : l’influence des modèles

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Sébastien Kramer

Rainfall for the next century will be influenced by global warming. These modified rainfalls will have influences on rainfall runoff. In order to analyze these impacts, this study compared different buildup and washoff functions with several future rainfal ...

Climate Change and Tourism in Switzerland : Impacts, Vulnerability and Possible Adaptation Measures

Cecilia Matasci

Climate change is a global phenomenon, but its effects occur on a local scale. An example is provided by tourism. Tourism is closely interlinked with climate change both as culprit and as victim. On the one hand, it is responsible for a large portion of GH ...

Accounting for global mean warming and scaling uncertainties in climate change impact studies: application to a regulated lakes system

André Musy, Bettina Schaefli, Abdelkader Mezghani

A probabilistic assessment of climate change and related impacts should consider a large range of potential future climate scenarios. State-of-the-art climate models, especially coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation models and Regional Climate Model ...
