9 Decision-Focused Climate Information

10 Decision-Focused Climate Information POSIBLES TEMPERATURAS PROMEDIO Y EXTREMAS FUTURAS Variable Resumen Fuente Tendencia Se proyecta un aumento en las temperaturas promedio de verano Temperaturas promedio en verano Temperaturas máximas en verano Temperaturas máximas extremas en verano (DEF [1]) de C entre 2004 y 2020 en el escenario A2 (PROCLIM). Se debe tener cuidado con las interpretaciones porque se utiliza un modelo continental (de menor escala). Se proyecta un aumento en las temperaturas promedio de verano (DEF) de 0.6 C de 2004 a 2035 en el escenario A2 (PROCLIM). Se debe tener cuidado en las interpretaciones porque se utiliza un modelo continental (de menor escala) : Se proyecta un aumento de las temperaturas promedio de verano (DEF) de 0.9 C en el escenario A2 (modelo min 0.3 C modelo max 1.3 C, 15 Modelos) : Se proyecta un aumento de las temperaturas promedio de verano (DEF) de 1.5 C en el escenario A2 (modelo min 0.9 C modelo max 1.9 C, 15 Modelos) Se proyecta temperaturas máximas de verano (DEF) de 32 a 36 C de 2004 a 2020 en el escenario A2 (PROCLIM).Se debe tener cuidado en las interpretaciones pues se utiliza solo un modelo continental (a menor escala). Se proyecta temperaturas máximas de verano (DEF) de aproximadamente 37 C de 2005 a 2020 (STARDEX escenario A2; PROCLIM) PROCLIM PROCLIM ClimateWizard ClimateWizard PROCLIM PROCLIM
