Sea Level Projection According IPCC Model

7 mostly due to non-uniform changes in temperature and salinity and related to changes in the ocean circulation. As-syakur 2007 noted, that Indonesia is belong to this condition where occurrence of main convergence of two main world circulation walker and hardly. Location of Indonesia is between 2 continents and ocean so that has a circulation monsoon due to sun movement and of course the occurrence of ENSO el-nino and la-nina. Variation of topographic in all region of Indonesia, mountains, forests, valley, etc causing variation of climate and sea level condition.

2.2 Sea Level Projection According IPCC Model

A set of scenarios was developed by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC to represent the range of driving forces and emissions in the scenario literature so as to reflect current understanding and knowledge about underlying uncertainties. Those scenarios assist in climate change analysis, including climate modelling and the assessment of impacts, adaptation, and mitigation. The scenarios are based on an extensive assessment of driving forces and emissions in the scenario literature, alternative modelling approaches, and an “open process” that solicited wide participation and feedback. The open process defined in the Special Report on Emissions Scenarios SRES Terms of Reference calls for the use of multiple models, seeking inputs from a wide community as well as making scenario results widely available for comments and review. These objectives were fulfilled by the SRES multi-model approach and the open SRES website IPCC, 2000. Table 2.2 explains about four qualitative storylines yielding four sets of emissions scenarios called “families”: A1, A2, B1, and B2. The emissions scenarios are the basis for the assessment of possible mitigation strategies and policies to prevent climate change. Two scenarios emphasize on material wealth and two other scenarios on sustainability and equity. Additionally, two scenarios emphasize on globalization and two on regionalization. 8 Table 2.2: The four of SRES scenario families AR4 Fourth Assessment Report More economic focus More environmental focus Globalisation homogeneous world A1 rapid economic growth groups: A1T; A1B; A1Fl 1.4 - 6.4 °C B1 global environmental sustainability 1.1 - 2.9 °C Regionalisation heterogeneous world A2 regionally oriented economic development 2.0 - 5.4 °C B2 local environmental sustainability 1.4 - 3.8 °C Source from: IPCC 2001 The A1 storyline and scenario family describes a future world of very rapid economic growth, and global population that peaks in mid-century and declines thereafter, as well as the rapid introduction of new and more efficient technologies. Major underlying themes are convergence among regions, capacity building, and increased cultural and social interactions, with a substantial reduction in regional differences in per capita income. The A1 scenario family develops into three groups that describe alternative directions of technological change in the energy system. The three A1 groups are distinguished by their technological emphasis: fossil intensive A1FI, non-fossil energy sources A1T, or a balance across all sources A1B.12 The A2 storyline and scenario family describes a very heterogeneous world. The underlying theme is self-reliance and preservation of local identities. Fertility patterns across regions converge very slowly, which results in continuously increasing global population. Economic development is primarily regionally oriented and per capita economic growth and technological changes are more fragmented and slower than in other storylines. The B1 storyline and scenario family describes a convergent world with the same global population that peaks in mid-century and declines thereafter, as in the A1 storyline, but with rapid changes in economic structures towards a service and information economy, with reductions in material intensity, and the introduction of clean and resource-efficient technologies. The emphasis is on global solutions to economic, social, and environmental sustainability, including improved equity, but without additional climate initiatives. 9 The B2 storyline and scenario family describes a world in which the emphasis is on local solutions to economic, social, and environmental sustainability. It is a world with a continuously increasing global population at a rate lower than in A2, intermediate levels of economic development, and less rapid and more diverse technological change than in the B1 and A1 storylines. While the scenario is also oriented towards environmental protection and social equity, it focuses on local and regional levels IPCC, 2001. Table 2.3 shows about six families of SRES scenarios and AR4 Fourth Assessment Report, provide projected temperature and sea level rises excluding future rapid dynamical changes in ice flow for each scenario family. Table 2.3: Temperature and sea level rise for each SRES scenario family Scenario SRES Description 1 B1 Best estimate temperature rise of 1.8 °C with a likely range of 1.1 to 2.9 °C. Sea level rise likely range 18 to 38 cm. 2 A1T Best estimate temperature rise of 2.4 °C with a likely range of 1.4 to 3.8 °C. Sea level rise likely range 21 to 48 cm. 3 B2 Best estimate temperature rise of 2.4 °C with a likely range of 1.4 to 3.8 °C. Sea level rise likely range 20 to 43 cm 4 A1B Best estimate temperature rise of 2.8 °C with a likely range of 1.7 to 4.4 °C. Sea level rise likely range 21 to 48 cm. 5 A2 Best estimate temperature rise of 3.4 °C with a likely range of 2.0 to 5.4 °C. Sea level rise likely range 23 to 51 cm. 6 A1F1 Best estimate temperature rise of 4.0 °C with a likely range of 2.4 to 6.4 °C. Sea level rise likely range 26 to 59 cm. Source from: IPCC 2000 Figure 2.3 shows the sea level rise using the simple model when tuned to a number of complex models with a range of climate sensitivities. All SRES envelopes refer to the full range of 35 SRES scenarios. The “model average all SRES envelope” shows the average from these models for the range of scenarios. Note that the warming and sea level rise from these emissions would continue well beyond 2100. This range does not allow for uncertainty relating to ice dynamical changes in the West Antarctic ice sheet, nor does it account for uncertainties in projecting non- sulphate aerosols and greenhouse gas concentrations IPCC, 2001. 10 Figure 2.3: Global average sea level rise 1990 to 2100 by several of the SRES scenarios source from: IPCC 2001 A set of scenarios was developed to represent the range of driving forces and emissions in the scenario literature to reflect current understanding and knowledge about underlying uncertainties. The scenarios are based on an extensive assessment of driving forces and emissions in the scenario literature, alternative modelling approaches, and an “open process” that solicited wide participation and feedback.
