Average and Change Moisture Surplus for Emissions Scenarios A2, A1B and B1 for the Gulf of Mexico

Dates

Publication Date
Start Date
2000
End Date
2050

Summary

Climate projection data were downloaded from the Climatewizard application for the coastal region for the Gulf of Mexico. Climate projection data represent the monthly, seasonal, and yearly mean for the time period of 2000-2050 for the following variables: AET:PET ratio, Moisture deficit, Moisture surplus, PET, Precipitation, Temperature, Rainfall Anomaly, and Standard Precipitation Index. In addition, models representing change in the average mean from period of (1961-1990) is available for each of the variables. Each projected variable is modeled using three different emission scenarios High (A1), Medium (A1B) and Low (B1).

Purpose

The archive was developed to provide planning analysts access to climate projections "downscaled" to a finer spatial resolution. Such access permits development of decision-support information and associated regional and local adaptive strategies under potential climate change. Several types of analyses are supported by this archive, including: • regionally distributed assessments of projection frequency,• location-specific assessments of projection frequency, climate change impacts assessments for social and natural systems, • risk-based exploration of planning and policy responses.
