We created a reduced-form climate model that is based upon a series of previously conducted transient atmosphere-ocean general circulation model(AOGCM) simulations. For the model, we constructed a set of multiple regression transformation equations that relate the time history of radiative forcing to future transient climate change. These transformation equations were derived for a global grid and enable us to estimate future transient climate for a number of variables and for a wide range of CO2 and aerosol emission scenarios. 3, record 1, English, - transient%20climate%20change

Scénarios qui illustrent la répartition spatiale du réchauffement de température (°C) et du changement dans le régime de précipitation (mm/jour) sur le globe. Ces résultats sont obtenues par simulation d'un modèle de changement climatique transitoire avec augmentation du forçage dû aux gaz à effet de serre et aux aérosols. Ces deux schémas sont les résultats d'un ensemble de quatre simulations de changements climatiques transitoires [...] 1, record 1, French, - changement%20climatique%20transitoire
