Choice of IPCC models

We used 6 models (4th IPCC report in 2007) :I CSIRO Mk3.5d(2005)

I GFDL-CM2.0 (2004)

I GFDL-CM2.1 (2004)

I MIUB ECHO-G (1999)

I ECHAM5/MPI-OM (2004)

I MRI-CGCM2.3.2.a (2001)

which correctly represent the SPCZ and ENSO :

I good representation of the SPCZ mean state(mean latitude and slope),

I good representation of ENSO,

I good variability of SPCZ associated with ENSO.

Hypotheses : greenhouse gases emissions scenarios

Figure 1: Global average carbon dioxidconcentrations. Source : AR4, IPCC.

Control scenario over 1961-2000 :

I 20c3m (greenhouse gases

concentrations increasing in accordance

with 20th century observations).

2 scenarios over 2046-2065 and2081-2100 :

I SRES A2 (more CO2 emissions),

I SRES B1 (less CO2 emissions).

Observed trends in temperatures and rainfall

Figure 3: Annual average maximum temperatures at Noumeaover 1970-2009, after homogenization.

I Maximum temperatures :+ 0.2◦C per decade,

I Minimum temperatures :+ 0.3◦C per decade,

(16 stations - average).

Figure 4: Average annual rainfall at Lifou, over 1961-2008,after homogenization.

I Rainfall : no signi�cant trend

(29 stations - average).

Conclusion

Main results

I +1◦C (SRES B1), +1.4◦C (SRES A2) from 1971-1999 until2046-2064,

I +1.4◦C (SRES B1), +2.7◦C (SRES A2) from 1971-1999 until2081-2099,

I Annual rainfall not signi�cantly a�ected,

I More years favorable to outbreaks of dengue fever.

Future improvement

I Use new climatic simulations (next IPCC report : AR5),

I Apply downscaling method to di�erent weather types.
