Adaptation Challenges
1. Uncertainty in climate information
2. Interactions with other uncertain changes
3. Integrated assessment

Route Map
• Large ensemble climate data
• River flow ensemble
• Water resource system modelling
![Page 5: Mark New Ana Lopez, Fai Fung, Milena Cuellar Funded by Tyndall and Environment Agency](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814ad7550346895db7f134/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Large GCM Ensemble: CPdN• Explore model uncertainty by varying settings of poorly
constrained model parameters• HADCM3L model: standard atmosphere & low resolution
ocean.• 26 perturbed parameters (radiation, large scale cloud
formation, ocean circulation, sulphate cycle, sea ice formation and energy convection)
• Initial condition ensembles.• Transient runs:
– 1920-2000 forced with historical CO2, solar and volcanic forcing.– 2000-2080 forced with different possible scenarios

Data Available• 10-year seasonal mean fields• Monthly mean (time series):
– Large regions (Giorgi)– Selected grid-boxes (including UK)
• Variables include– Total precipitation rate– Convective cloud amount– Surface air temperature (1.5m)– Relative humidity (1.5m)
![Page 8: Mark New Ana Lopez, Fai Fung, Milena Cuellar Funded by Tyndall and Environment Agency](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814ad7550346895db7f134/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Modelling Set-up
• Downscale climate in space and time– SW England -> River Exe– Monthly -> Daily
• Generate ensemble of daily river flows– CATCHMOD rainfall-runoff model
• Run flow-ensemble through water resource model
![Page 9: Mark New Ana Lopez, Fai Fung, Milena Cuellar Funded by Tyndall and Environment Agency](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814ad7550346895db7f134/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Downscaling: Precipitation
• Gamma transform method– Remove GCM monthly biases– Select daily values from observations

Downscaling: PET
• Calculate GCM PET from– Temperature, RH & cloud-cover (radiation)– Adjust for climatological bias– No daily downscaling

Outstanding Issues / Future Work
• Biases in runoff simulations• Simplistic downscaling• Higher multiple year failures in simulations• Scenarios / ensembles of changing demand• Incorporating adaptation options• Staged methodology• Relative likelihoods• Comparison with UKCIP08 / ENSEMBLES
