Climate science … many questions and uncertain answers!
1. What is the evidence and observed changes in the climate system and how reliable are climate models and scenarios?
2. How to use climate models & future predictions for Agriculture and modeling?
3. How can we adapt agriculture systems to unknown future conditions?

The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, sea level has risen, and the concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased.

Each of the last three decades has been successively warmer at the Earth’s surface than any preceding decade since 1850. In the Northern Hemisphere, 1983–2012 was likely the warmest 30-year period of the last 1400 years (medium confidence).
Ocean warming dominates the increase in energy stored in the climate system, accounting for more than 90% of the energy accumulated between 1971 and 2010 (high confidence). It is virtually certain that the upper ocean (0−700 m) warmed from 1971 to 2010.
IPCC AR5 report – observed changes in the climate system
Over the last two decades, the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have been losing mass, glaciers have continued to shrink almost worldwide, and Arctic sea ice and Northern Hemisphere spring snow cover have continued to decrease in extent (high confidence)
The rate of sea level rise since the mid-19th century has been larger than the mean rate during the previous two millennia (high confidence). Over the period 1901–2010, global mean sea level rose by 0.19 [0.17 to 0.21] m.
The atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, and nitrous oxide have increased to levels unprecedented in at least the last 800,000 years. CO2 concentrations have increased by 40% since pre-industrial times, primarily from fossil fuel emissions and secondarily from net land use change emissions. The ocean has absorbed about 30% of the emitted anthropogenic carbon dioxide, causing ocean acidification.

Drivers of Climate Change Total radiative forcing is positive, and has led to an uptake of energy by the climate system. The largest contribution to total radiative forcing is caused by the increase in the atmospheric concentration of CO2 since 1750.
Climate models have improved since the AR4. Models reproduce observed continental-scale surface temperature patterns and trends over many decades, including the more rapid warming since the mid-20th century and the cooling immediately following large volcanic eruptions.(very high confidence).
This evidence for human influence has grown since AR4. It is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century.
Changes in the global water cycle in response to the warming over the 21st century will not be uniform. The contrast in precipitation between wet and dry regions and between wet and dry seasons will increase, although there may be regional exceptions.

To know the uncertainty of the data is important!
We don’t know… What are the conditions in 30, 50, 100 years?The different emission scenarios are not important ... by 2030 the difference between the concentration pathways is minimal.Understand variability and precise forecasting is important!

Climate variability
• There is still uncertainty on climate models when it comes to variability
• Historical observations of weather and climate can help to understand better variability
• We need a better forecasting for Agriculture

Historical climate in GMS
Presentation: Linh Giang
![Page 15: Overview of climate variability and climate change in GMS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c6cfcd4a79592f088b45c5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Recent studies show the emergence of general trends in the climate of the GMS.
• Average daily temperatures across Southeast Asia have increased
• Precipitation patterns are quite complex across Southeast Asia.
• In the Greater Mekong region from 1961 to 1998, although the number of extreme rainfall events decreased, the amount of rain falling during these events increased (Manton et al 2001).
OVERVIEW
![Page 16: Overview of climate variability and climate change in GMS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c6cfcd4a79592f088b45c5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
CRU TS 3.10.01 The CRU TS 3.10.01 Climate dataset has been produced by the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of University of East Anglia. The database comprises 5583 station records of which 4842 have enough data for the 1961-1990 period to calculate estimate the average temperatures for this period.
![Page 17: Overview of climate variability and climate change in GMS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c6cfcd4a79592f088b45c5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Climate grids are constructed for nine climate variables for the period 1901-2009- Temperature, - Diurnal temperature range, - Daily minimum temperature, - Maximum temperatures, - Precipitation,- Wet-day frequency, - Frost-day frequency, - Vapor pressure, and - Cloud cover.
CRU TS 3.10.01
![Page 18: Overview of climate variability and climate change in GMS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c6cfcd4a79592f088b45c5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
842 points in GMS were collected from CRU TS 3.10.01 which covers from 1901 to 2009, globally at 0.5 degree spatial resolution on land area, including:
• Precipitation• Mean temperature• Minimum temperature• Maximum temperature
![Page 19: Overview of climate variability and climate change in GMS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c6cfcd4a79592f088b45c5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Mean temperature increased by between 1.8 ˚C and 2 ˚C.
• Maximum temperature rose by between 1.7˚C and 2.2˚C.
• Minimum temperature grew by between 1.6˚C and 2.2˚C.
![Page 20: Overview of climate variability and climate change in GMS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c6cfcd4a79592f088b45c5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The region has seen more hot days and warm nights and fewer cool days and nights.
![Page 21: Overview of climate variability and climate change in GMS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c6cfcd4a79592f088b45c5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Total annual rainfall will increase by 5-25% across the northern part of the Mekong region in the next few decades.
• Heavier storms during the wet season will account for the regional increase because drier dry seasons are predicted (TKK & SEA START RC 2009).
![Page 22: Overview of climate variability and climate change in GMS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c6cfcd4a79592f088b45c5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The trends in rainfall had the range of highly variable

Conclusion
• In spite of a few station in South-East Asia , CRU data is useful to get overview of the climate change in the long time,
• The highest temperature in research area concentrate in the south, and recorded the significant increase in South of Cambodia and South-East of Thailand,
• The shoreline area receive the large amount of precipitation (Especially in Middle of Vietnam, Myanmar, and Thailand)

Statistical downscaling of climate models• Use anomalies and discard baselines in GCMs
– Climate baseline: WorldClim– Used in the majority of studies– Takes original GCM timeseries– Calculates averages over a baseline and future periods (i.e.
2020s, 2050s)– Compute anomalies– Spline interpolation of anomalies– Sum anomalies to WorldClim

Specific vulnerability profiles of farmers in Nicaragua Coffee under pressureCUP
Matagalpa is characterized by high exposure (coffee suitability decreases drastically) high sensitivity (high variability in yields) and low adaptive capacity (poor access to credit, poor knowledge on pest and disease management and low diversification).
The adaptation strategy focuses on diversification, capacity building, strengthening of the organizations and on the enforcement of environmental laws and development policies for the coffee sector.
