As a central supporting element of the program’s eight adaptation priorities and its projects, the climate science and climate services team has identified objectives through a strategy designed to produce relevant climate-related information and analyses by developing new knowledge and by bringing public services on-line. Thanks to advanced expertise and high-quality climate data, this strategy will notably help support the various stakeholders throughout their adaptation to the risks and opportunities of climate change as they relate to the main issues faced by Quebec society.
The CRCM5 model (fifth-generation Canadian regional climate model) adopted by Ouranos was developed by UQAM’s ESCER Centre in collaboration with Environment and Climate Change Canada. The CRCM6 model is currently under development at the aforementioned centre.
Anne Frigon holds a Master’s in atmospheric sciences from Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). After almost 10 years as a private-sector consultant in meteorology and climatology, she joined the UQAM team that developed the Canadian Regional Climate Model (CRCM). Since coming to Ouranos in 2002, she has focused on the hydrology of climate change, particularly on applying regional climate models to Quebec watersheds. Mrs. Frigon has coordinated the Climate Simulation and Analysis Group since 2009.
