Climate Change Adaptation Modeler in TerrSet

The Climate Change Adaptation Modeler includes an interface to the National Center for Atmospheric Research’s MAGICC and SCENGEN models for generating climate scenarios (based on CMIP3/AR4). In this illustration, the MAGICC suite of coupled gas-cycle, climate and ice-melt models was used to determine changes in greenhouse-gas concentrations and global-mean surface air temperature (the graph) using the A1B-AIM scenario. SCENGEN was then used to generate an ensemble forecast for January 2100 based on 20 atmosphere/ocean general circulation models.
