Central questions for the GPC theme are:
- What will be the impact of changes in the cryosphere on atmospheric and oceanic circulation?
- What is the likelihood of abrupt or critical climate and/or Earth system changes resulting from processes involving the cryosphere?
For the CliC project, the GPC Theme leads the coordination of future research on Regional Climate Modelling and Improved Parameterization of Cryospheric Processes, which is one of the five major research initiatives that integrate and cut across the four CliC Science Themes. Regional climate models have the potential to deliver improved cryospheric predictions as a result of their higher horizontal resolution and better representation of regional climate processes.
