Project Abstract
A second component of the research will simulate climate change in Ireland at high spatial resolution using Regional Climate Models. The work will form the basis of a planned 2016 ICHEC RCM project. The research will consolidate and greatly expand on previous research carried out by the proposed PI. This previous research shows large uncertainty in certain climate projections for Ireland such as annual precipitation and annual wind speeds. It is envisaged that the proposed research will reduce this uncertainty and provide sharper estimates of expected climate change in the coming decades.
