13.4.2. Regional features in other Climate Change experiments<br />

Fourteen modelling groups from different institutions are preparing model<br />

simulations of climate change scenarios <strong>and</strong> the results will be available to the scientific<br />

community for diagnostic analysis. These analyses will be part of the IPCC<br />

Fourth Assessment Report <strong>and</strong> they have been organized by the Working Group<br />

Climate Simulation Panel. The objective is to have a diverse set of climate change<br />

scenarios <strong>and</strong> a few sets with high resolution (~150 km), a variety of fields, monthly,<br />

daily <strong>and</strong> 3 hourly timescale. The experiments refer to following conditions:<br />
