NIWA Climate Change Maps

NIWA’s National Climate Centre has produced a set of five A1-size maps displaying some of our new climate change projections for New Zealand.

The maps present a ‘middle-of-the-road’ picture of the future. They show the average projection from 12 global climate models for a mid-range greenhouse gas emission scenario.

The full set shows:

1. change in mean annual temperature by about the middle of this century
2. change in mean annual temperature by about the end of this century
3. percentage change in mean annual precipitation by about the middle of this century
4. percentage change in mean annual precipitation by about the end of this century
5. percentage change in mean precipitation by season(four panels show winter, spring, summer, autumn) by about the end of this century.

Available from NIWA for $30 (incl P&P within NZ) for the set of five maps.
