Local climate change projections
We design tools to simulate expected changes in future climate and assess how they may affect us through risk and vulnerability analysis.
About the project
Effect of Climate Change on Pollutant Concentration under IPCC Sixth Report scenarios or EC6 is a study funded by the call for research projects for non-profit foundations granted by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge during the year 2022.
Objectives
EC6 aims to use the conclusions drawn from previous work and apply them to climate projections using state-of-the-art CMIP6 models. In this sense, we seek:
- Determine the analogous days that may cause a risk threshold to be exceeded.
- Characterize analogous days by classifying the most common scenarios leading to risk scenarios.
- Generate climate projections for the analogous days conducive to the concentration of pollutants in the lower layers of the troposphere, based on the most updated global warming scenarios (associated with the sixth report of the IPCC, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change).
Funded by
Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge through grants to third-sector entities or non-governmental organizations that carry out activities of general interest considered to be of social interest in the field of scientific and technical research and environmental protection under state jurisdiction. This research has been funded by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge but does not express its opinion.
