A Stochastic Model for the Impact of Climate Change on Temperature and Precipitation
Author:
Abstract: The variations from year to year of the monthly average temperatures are modelled as a discrete-time
Markov chain. By computing the limiting probabilities of the Markov chain, we can see the impact of climate
change on these temperatures. The same type of model is proposed for the variations of the monthly amounts of
precipitation. An application to Jordan is presented.
