摘要: Making use of the Koppen–Trewartha (K–T) climate classification, we have found that a set nine high-resolution regional models (RCM) are fairly capable reproducing current in Europe. The percentage grid-point to coincidences between subtypes based on control simulations and those Climate Research Unit (CRU) climatology varied 73 82%. best agreement with CRU corresponds RCM “ensemble mean”. K–T classification was then used elucidate scenarios change for 2071–2100 under SRES A2 emission scenario. land grid-points unchanged ranged from 41 49%, while shift towards warmer or drier ones 51 59%. As first approximation, one may assume regions two more subtypes, ecosystems might be at risk. Excluding northern Scandinavia, such were projected cover about 12% European area.
