Background • Regional climate ac8vi8es are limited • Three ins8tu8ons carried out regional climate downscaling – Na8onal Hydraulic Research Ins8tute Malaysia (NAHRIM) (carried out through a foreign consultant)
– Malaysian Meteorological Department (used PRECIS Hadley Centre UKMO)
– Na8onal Univ. Malaysia (used PRECIS Hadley Centre UKMO)
• All based on AR4 products • Not much of impact studies using downscaled products • Malaysia needs latest AR5 product at high resolu8on (~ 25km) for impact assessment studies

In accordance to the IPCC A R 4 r e p o r t , t h e temperature projected by the 25-‐km PRECIS RCM driven by ECHAM5 AOGCM and HadCM3 AOGCM showed an increasing trend.
Similarly in Sabah and Sarawak, both the models show an increasing trend i n t e m p e r a t u r e . However, the observed sta8on data recorded h i ghe r t empe r a t u r e c o m p a r e t o t h o s e simulated by the models.

Annual Average for Temperature from 1971 to 2012
Peninsula Sabah&Sarawak
The annual averages of rainfall in Sabah & Sarawak are greater than that in Peninsular Malaysia. The inter-‐annual variability is observed apparently in both regions.
The temperature averages in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah & Sarawak show s im i l a r p a h e r n s . A n increasing trend is observed over the given period.

MOSES1 vs MOSES2.2 (PRECIS)
• MOSES2.2 generally warmer compare to MOSES1. Hence reducing the magnitude of the cold biases over most part of Malaysia.
• Impact of different land surface scheme to precipita8on simula8on is less clear.

Summary • The presenta8on provides snapshots of the kind of climate downscaling ac8vi8es we had in Malaysia based on PRECIS
• PRECIS simulates temperature and precipita8on over Malaysia with biases
• The error in the data may also contribute to the biases in PRECIS out put
• We demonstrated bias correc8on may be needed and may be working if the error is systema8c
• [We have done some work on GCMs evalua8on. We hope to show 2-‐3 slides of this work may be tomorrow].
