The SERVIR project, under USAID funding, has developed comprehensive regional climate change scenarios of Mesoamerica for future years: 2010, 2015, 2025, 2050, and 2099. These scenarios were created using the Pennsylvania State University/National Center for Atmospheric Research (MM5) model and processed on the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Cheetah supercomputer.

The goal of these Mesoamerican climate change scenarios is to better understand the regional climate, the major controls, and how it might be expected to change in the future. Specifically, through this modeling exercise, we have examined the effects of changes in land use and greenhouse gas emissions and then developed quantitative estimates on how these changes will affect future climates. These estimates can be used to develop regional and national climate change simulations, as well as identify adaptive management strategies for responding to these changes.
