It documents the regional climate change projections based on the climate models used in the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) and climate change modeling studies using the IITM Earth System Model (ESM) and CORDEX South Asia datasets. The IPCC assessment reports, published every 6–7 years, constitute important reference materials for major policy decisions on climate change, adaptation, and mitigation. While the IPCC assessment reports largely provide a global perspective on climate change, the focus on regional climate change aspects is considerably limited. The effects of climate change over the Indian subcontinent involve complex physical processes on different space and time scales, especially given that the mean climate of this region is generally shaped by the Indian monsoon and the unique high-elevation geographical features such as the Himalayas, the Western Ghats, the Tibetan Plateau and the adjoining Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, and Bay of Bengal. This book also presents policy relevant information based on robust scientific analysis and assessments of the observed and projected future climate change over the Indian region. 2020-07-14T07:18:18Z 2020-07-14T07:18:18Z 2020 book ONIX_20200714_9789811543272_8 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/39973 eng application/pdf n/a 2020_Book_AssessmentOfClimateChangeOverT.pdf https://www.springer.com/9789811543272 Springer Nature Springer 10.1007/978-981-15-4327-2 10.1007/978-981-15-4327-2 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 Springer 226 open access
