SINGAPORE - Singapore's third national climate change study - which will provide localised and high-resolution climate projections till 2100 - will be completed in September next year.
The model will divide Singapore and the rest of the region's land and sea into grid cells of 8km by 8km , and each cell's changes in temperature, humidity, wind speed, rainfall amount and sea level rise will be projected till 2100. Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu, who gave the opening address at the conference at Sands Expo and Convention Centre, noted that climate scientists have found this region's climate, especially rainfall patterns, particularly challenging to model.But many climate scientists call this region the engine room of the global climate system, said Ms Fu.
