The cover article on October 2016’s issue of Nature Climate Change discusses the possible roles of attribution research in future developments in international climate policy, and the degree to which these possible roles can be reconciled with the need for various types of justice. CASCADE’s Dáithí Stone is a co-author.
SciDev.net has an article today about some analysis of data produced by CASCADE. As part of his doctoral thesis at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, Kamoru Lawal (now at the Nigerian Meteorological Agency) examined how CAM5.1 climate simulations performed under the CASCADE project manage to reproduce the major seasonal weather systems affecting West […]
The International CLIVAR C20C+ Detection and Attribution Project has reached a milestone, with monthly data and daily data from some commonly-used variables now published from all the core simulations of two climate models: CAM5.1-1degree (contributed by CASCADE), and MIROC5 (contributed by the Japanese MIROC consortium). Publication of additional daily data continues, and contributions from additional […]
Monthly climate data from simulations of the CAM5.1-1degree climate model run under the CASCADE project can now be viewed and analysed online using the FACTS (Facility for Climate Assessments) site of NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory. View maps, correlate against various indices, or compare against other climate data to your heart’s content. Currently the site […]
Old simulations still have uses. A new study titled “Are estimates of anthropogenic and natural influences on Australia’s extreme 2010-2012 rainfall model-dependent?” has just been published in the journal Climate Dynamics. It uses data from simulations of the CAM5.1-2degree model that were conducted by CASCADE researchers as a pilot project of the international C20C+ Detection […]
