Climate Zones, Scenario A1F1 2001 - 2025, Africa

This map illustrates emissions scenario A1F1 of the Köppen-Geiger Climate Classification system: a world with quick economic growth and a quick launch of new and efficient technologies. fossil fuel intensive. This system is based on annual and monthly averages of temperature and precipitation ranges. These maps illustrate projected data using the TYN SC 2.03 (Mitchell et al., 2004) data set, averaged over periods of 25 years. The results show ensemble-means runs against 5 global climate model (GCM) projections illustrating 1 of 4 emissions scnenarios descirbed by the IPCC. Map data were received by CIESIN as 30 arc-minute grids and resampled to match the extent and resolution of GPW v3 of 2.5 arc minutes.
