Adapting to climate change: A regional climate model study of the Caucasus
, Pages: 2049-2056Adapting to climate change requires new tools and processes within the oil and gas sector. In this paper we present a potential adaptation process. We also discuss the results of an investigation using the Regional Environmental Modelling System (ReEMS). ReEMS is being used to revise design criteria of infrastructure. Using the Caucasus as a case study we examine the hypothesis that air temperature change can be a proxy for extreme rainfall change. Climate simulations have been performed over a two decade-long period to emulate a recent past and future climate scenario. Mean and extreme precipitation changes are shown to be decoupled. Clausius-Clapeyron scaling is considered to be a good estimator for changes in modelled extreme precipitation with temperature. The similarity between the theoretical and modelled climate results is closer for more extreme rainfall and is also found to depend on the region over which the comparison is made.

The use of a high-resolution emission data set in a global eulerian-lagrangian coupled model
, Geophysical Monograph Series, Vol: 200, Pages: 173-183We present a method to simulate atmospheric tracer concentration at a high spatiotemporal scale by coupling a Lagrangian particle dispersion model and a global Eulerian transport model. In this paper, we used the global Eulerian- Lagrangian coupled atmospheric transport model that has a capability of accommodating a high-resolution emission data set. Hourly atmospheric CO <inf>2</inf> at three different sites over winter months (December, January, and February) were simulated. Model performance was measured by comparing observations relative to a control run implemented by the single Eulerian model. We also examined the inclusion of fossil fuel CO<inf>2</inf> emission data sets at a high spatial resolution by using two data sets prepared at different spatial resolutions (1° and 1 km resolution). The model performance, such as accuracy, bias, and reproducibility of concentration variation, was improved by the use of the Eulerian-Lagrangian coupling method as well as the fossil fuel CO<inf>2</inf> emission data set prepared at higher spatial resolution. However, the model tends to overestimate observations compared to the control run. The improvement in accuracy and bias was found at simulations of measurements with high CO<inf>2</inf> concentration where global Eulerian models, in general, could underestimate due to the lack of regional depiction in their aggregated, prescribed emissions. This study suggests that Eulerian-Lagrangian coupling could improve the model reproducibility of observed CO<inf>2</inf> by reducing flux aggregation error, though error due to mismatch in spatiotemporal scale between wind fields and emission data still remains in our current model setup. In particular, the inclusion of high-resolution fossil fuel CO<inf>2</inf> emission data would benefit atmospheric CO<inf>2</inf> simulations at locations where local anthropogenic contributions are predominant.

Open Air Laboratories (OPAL): a community-driven research programme.
, Environmental Pollution, Vol: 159, Pages: 2203-2210OPAL is an English national programme that takes scientists into the community to investigate environmental issues. Biological monitoring plays a pivotal role covering topics of: i) soil and earthworms; ii) air, lichens and tar spot on sycamore; iii) water and aquatic invertebrates; iv) biodiversity and hedgerows; v) climate, clouds and thermal comfort. Each survey has been developed by an inter-disciplinary team and tested by voluntary, statutory and community sectors. Data are submitted via the web and instantly mapped. Preliminary results are presented, together with a discussion on data quality and uncertainty. Communities also investigate local pollution issues, ranging from nitrogen deposition on heathlands to traffic emissions on roadside vegetation. Over 200,000 people have participated so far, including over 1000 schools and 1000 voluntary groups. Benefits include a substantial, growing database on biodiversity and habitat condition, much from previously unsampled sites particularly in urban areas, and a more engaged public.
