5 Questions
What are the goals of the lecture on Mediterranean and Polar Amplification?
The goals of the lecture are to gain an overview of these patterns in models and observations, appreciate implications for Mediterranean and polar regions, and understand drivers and feedbacks behind the amplifications.
What are the characteristics of the Mediterranean amplification discussed in the text?
The characteristics of the Mediterranean amplification discussed include potential impacts, drivers, land-surface feedbacks, and variability changes.
What are the temperature trends for the Mediterranean amplification according to CMIP5 models and observations?
The temperature trends for the Mediterranean amplification according to CMIP5 models and observations include June - August and December - February.
What is the projected change in summer temperatures for RCP8.5 2070-2099 vs 1980-2009?
The projected change in summer temperatures for RCP8.5 2070-2099 vs 1980-2009 is shown in Figure 6.10, indicating changes in hot extremes (TXx) in degrees Celsius for 2060.
What are the potential impacts of the Mediterranean amplification?
The potential impacts of the Mediterranean amplification are not explicitly stated in the given text.
