Assessment the Effects of Climate Change on the Degree of Heating and Cooling Days of Iran by Hasan Zolfaqari, Hamid Rahimi, Rohollah Oji

“…Downscaled output of three GCM model of CNRM، EC-Earth and GFDL, with the spatial resolutions of 0.44 degree under two emissions trajectories (RCPs 4.5 and 8.5), was applied in this regard. Post processing error of the model was used To moderate. In general, the mechanism of action of regional circulation model (RCM) is calculated using change factor in this case such as the difference or monthly ratio of simulations of regional circulation model in the future with the last period for heating and cooling degree-days which will be added to the data period last observation stations. 3-Results and Discussion The analysis results of the cooling degree-days (CDD) show that generally 65.9 percent of the stations have experienced a significant increase (in 0.95 sig level), 29.6 percent of the condition with no significant process and 4.6 percent with decreasing process. …”
