Abstract: Climate predictions provide probabilities of long-term changes to the statistics of future climatic variables. Global circulation models are used to simulate local climate trends relative to global scale despite that they are challenged by natural variability; uncertainty arising from past, present and future forcing of the climate system by natural and anthropogenic forcing agents. The spatial resolutions of those models are counted in thousands of square kilometers and this might lead to lose the regional and local details of climate. The main objective of this meta-data analysis is to look into which model, among the total 16 considered in this case, best replicate the observed climate and simulate precipitation and temperature changes in Ethiopia.
