KNMI updates climate change scenarios for the Netherlands

This summer, the Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute (KNMI) has presented new regional climate scenarios for the Netherlands (KNMI'06 scenarios). Climate change scenarios for the Netherlands for temperature, precipitation, potential evaporation and wind for 2050, and for sea level rise for 2050 and 2100 have been constructed using a range of data sources and techniques. The scenario variables have been defined after consultation with a number of potential scenario users.

More information about these scenarios can be found in the brochure "Climate in the 21st century: four scenarios for the Netherlands" and in the scientific background document "KNMI Climate Scenarios 2006 for the Netherlands".
