Abstract

The impact of increasing greenhouse gas concentrations on the climate of Indian subcontinent and its variability is studied using the output from the time-dependent greenhouse warming simulation. The Hamburg global coupled atmosphere-ocean circulation model demonstrates substantial skill in simulating the present-day climate and its interannual variability over the monsoon region. The onset date of the SW-monsoon over India along about 20°N inferred from the control run is similar to the observed onset date. With the exception of temperature, the projected changes in impact-related climatic variables over a period of 100 years are within the range of inter-annual variability in the monsoon region. There is no clear evidence for a significant change in the seasonal-mean monsoon rainfall or the variability of the monsoon rainfall in scenario A experiment. -Authors
