Action Group on Prediction of Changes in the Physical and Biological Environments of the Antarctic (PCPBEA)
PCPBEA official web site (site still under construction)
Terms of Reference (as revised at the first meeting)
- Assess our current ability to predict how the physical and biological environments of the Antarctic will evolve over the next century;
- Identify the extent to which the physical and biological approaches to prediction can be integrated;
- Determine the parameters needed from climate models to predict changes in the biosphere;
- Consider the issues involved in downscaling from the resolution of climate models to those required for prediction of biological systems;
- Investigate the means of improving prediction of selected physical parameters and their impacts on aspects of marine and terrestrial biota;
- Identify areas where future research is needed.
