Although there is
a reasonably large body of work focusing on South American climate, few studies
focus on just Chile and even fewer consider climate processes operating over
longer timescales, such as those at which climate change becomes apparent.
This paper
provides an overview of Chilean present-day and future climate, needed
to plan for potential impacts of climate change. Firstly, present-day
climate conditions are assessed using a number of observational rainfall and
temperature datasets.
All available
GCMs are then examined, to firstly assess their ability to simulate climate
during the end of the 20th century and secondly to examine their projections
during the 21st century.
