Empirically downscaled temperature scenarios for Svalbard
Abstract Empirically downscaled climate scenarios are presented for the Svalbard region, based on mixed 2‐meter temperature and sea level pressure fields. The scenarios are derived using the large‐scale fields from the ECHAM4‐GSDIO, HadCM3, and NCAR‐CSM climate change experiments, and utilizing comm...
