Increments from EP2 climate change
Changes in climate from the EP2 work provided:
 A set of forecast years
 Used to produce 31 year averages centred on each year from 2008
onwards
 Output was converted to a single base year and increments
 2010 has a set of increments that specifically relate to
the adjustment to raise the base year to a 31 year
average centred on 2010
 Each year has a specific set of increments that vary
 Cannot use one years increments with different base
years as the two items need to sum to the EP2 forecast
output

Increment changes
The following chart is from the Met Office EP2 output:
 Lines show the increment needed to move the base year to each year
in question
 Increased in increment is not linear
 Therefore to apply to different base years as in the xoserve method
requires different increments
 Significant cooling from inappropriate
values
 Solid lines are for max
 Dotted lines for min

Wind Impact
The following chart uses our calculation of CWV degree days:
 CWV calculated as normal
 CWV calculated with zero windspeed to show maximum warming
 Comparison to average CWV calculated by xoserve using daily and
average methods

Wind Impact
 Wind seems to have less impact than xoserve are stating – second
order


7 days impact in June, 2 in July, 1 in August 2008
Average summer impact 0.04 degree days per day
Total difference:
0.2 degree days per day in 2008
0.18 degree days in 2007
0.17 degree days in 2006
On average 40% lower with NO WIND than the daily to
average calculation impact stated by xoserve
suggesting incorrect increments have as large an
impact to understating wind in averages
 Average calculation fits at shoulder months to observed (true for 2005
to date)
 Suggests that the EP2 limitations are not significant particularly with
seasonal shape changes warming shoulder months and maximum

Impact of EP2 climate change
Changes in temperature from the EP2 climate work:
 Increased warming over the period we are applying seasonal normal to
 Warming greatest in shoulder months but also significant for other
periods
 EP2 designed

Changes in CWV – to mitigate concern on wind effect
Changes in CWV between average method and daily method:
 Average change for WM example used 0.09 (xoserve figures)
 Maximum change 0.6 in June (xoserve figures)
 Roughly equivalent to an effective temperature change of 0.12 (max
0.9)
 EP2 change between 2010 and 2014 is an average of 0.14 (max 0.2 June)
 EP2 change between 2010 and 2012 is an average of 0.08 (max 0.11 May)
 Suggested option use 2010 as base year to compensate for the lack of
cooling impact from averaging methodology?
