U.S. Koppen-Geiger climate classification (2000 - 2100) [MIROC-H: A1B Scenario]

The Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate (MIROC), which is the coupled general circulation model used in the K-1 project, consists of five componet models: atmosphere, land, river, sea ice, and ocean. The atmospheric component interacts with the land and sea ice components. The air-sea exchange is realized exclusively between the atmosphere and sea ice components, not directly between the atmosphere and ocean components, and the ocean component interacts only with the sea ice component. That is, air-sea flux at ice-free grids is consequently passed to the ocean component without modification, but it is first passed to the sea ice component. The river component receives ground runoff water from the land component and drains riverine runoff water into the sea ice component. Lakes are dealt with by the sea ice and ocean components.
