          Abstract

          RESUMO Este trabalho apresenta análises de projeções de mudanças nos campos de precipitação e temperatura em simulações de downscaling dinâmico no contexto do projeto CORDEX. O domínio da simulação corresponde às Américas Tropicais, mas a região de estudo se restringe a duas sub-regiões do Nordeste Brasileiro: Norte (NNEB) e Sul (SNEB). O modelo regional utilizado nas simulações foi o RAMS6.0, forçado por dados do modelo global HadGEM2-ES. Foram analisados os períodos presente e três "fatias de tempo" futuras sob o cenário climático RCP8.5. Para a precipitação e temperatura no clima presente, a simulação foi comparada com os dados do CRU com finalidade de avaliar o desempenho e os erros de viés dos modelos. O RAMS6.0 mostra-se superior ao HadGEM2-ES em aspectos como, a representação da fase do ciclo anual de precipitação e temperatura, redução do viés seco na estação seca sobre o NNEB e distribuição espacial de ambas as variáveis, especialmente temperatura. Entretanto, o RAMS6.0 também exacerba alguns erros do modelo global, como o viés úmido na estação chuvosa. No clima futuro, foram analisadas as mudanças nos valores climatológicos e nos campos anuais das duas variáveis. Alguns padrões projetados pelos dois modelos incluem redução da precipitação no inverno austral e aumento da temperatura no decorrer do século.

          ABSTRACT This paper presents analysis of projected changes on precipitation and temperature perfomed by dynamical downscaling simulations in the CORDEX Project context. The simulation domain encompasses the Tropical Americas but the focus of this study is restricted to the Northeast Brazil subregions: North (NNEB) and South (SNEB). The regional model run in the simulations was RAMS6.0, forced by HadGEM2-ES global model data. The present period and three future time slices under the RCP8.5 climate scenario were analyzed. Current precipitation and temperature were compared against CRU observed data, to evaluate the performance and the biases from the regional and the global model. In comparison to the HadGEM2-ES model, RAMS6.0 is superior in some aspects as the phase representation of the annual precipitation and temperature cycle, reduction of the dry bias during the dry season over the NNEB and spatial distribution of the two variables, especially temperature. However, RAMS6.0 exacerbates some errors from the global model, like the wet bias in the rainy season. In the future climate, changes in the climatological value and annual mean fields of both variables were analyzed. Some patterns were projected by both models, like decreasing precipitation during austral winter and increasing temperature throughout the century.
