We estimate Sicily global radiation 1961-2000 monthly climatologies from already available climatologies (2002-2011) and from a regional sunshine duration anomaly record (1936-2013). We compare these climatologies with corresponding climatologies from 4 RCM-GCM combinations and present correcting factors introduced in order to make the model outputs representative of the observational data. Then, we apply the same correcting factors to future model simulations in order to produce monthly climatologies for the 2001-2050 and 2051-2100 period.

Abstract

We estimate Sicily global radiation 1961-2000 monthly climatologies from already available climatologies (2002-2011) and from a regional sunshine duration anomaly record (1936-2013). We compare these climatologies with corresponding climatologies from 4 RCM-GCM combinations and present correcting factors introduced in order to make the model outputs representative of the observational data. Then, we apply the same correcting factors to future model simulations in order to produce monthly climatologies for the 2001-2050 and 2051-2100 period.
