Abstract

RCP scenarios refer to the portion of the concentration thresholds that extend until 2100, for which the integrated assessment models produce corresponding emission scenarios (IPCC, 2013). [...]the RCP4.5 scenario is an intermediate stabilization level where the radiative forcing is stabilized at approximately 4.5 W m-2 and 6.0 W m-2 after 2100 (the corresponding RCP assumes constant emissions after 2150). (2015) evaluated the frequency of annual precipitation in scenarios RCP8.5 (high projections, high population growth and slow economic and technological development) and RCP4.5 (low projections, slower population growth, rapid economic development and greater emphasis on environmental protection) of climate change in the recharge of an aquifer in a semiarid region of Spain during the periods 1961-1990 and 2011-2099. [...]that authors found projections of an increase in temperature of 1.5 °C and a 15% reduction in precipitation for the RCP4.5 scenario (optimistic), and an increase in temperature of 4.0 °C and a reduction in precipitation of 20% for the RCP8.5 (pessimistic) scenario. [...]4.0 °C was added to the monthly average temperature and a 20% reduction to the monthly average rainfall to formulate the pessimistic scenario (RCP8.5) for water balance.
