Am I able to reproduce and publish maps and images from the UKCP09 reports and User Interface? Aren't the uncertainties too large to be of use? Can climate models really help to plan for the future? Can you overlay GIS shapefiles for more than one variable? Can I average the probabilistic projections for different grid squares to produce a single probabilistic projection for a user-defined area? Do I have to pay to use UKCP09? Does UKCP09 consider changes to the Gulf Stream (Meridional Overturning Circulation)? Does UKCP09 provide any information beyond 2100? Does UKCP09 provide maps showing likely areas of flooding or inundation as a result of sea level rise? How are the different probability levels described in UKCP09, and why? How do I investigate data for different temporal averaging periods? (e.g. months, seasons, 30-year time periods)? How can I explore transient future climate and changes throughout the 21st century? How can climate projections be used? How do I acknowledge use of the UKCP09 maps? How do I reference the UKCP09 science reports? How can I deal with changes in UK since the 1961–1990 baseline period? How can I manage emissions uncertainty? How do the projections in UKCP09 compare with those in UKCIP02? How do you work out frequency of extreme events over decadal timescales? How might my assumptions and choices alter the conclusions reached? How much did UKCP09 cost? How were the aggregated areas decided on and implemented? I have produced a joint probability plot that shows a bimodal distribution (two peaks), how can I interpret this? Is the UKCP09 guidance available in PDF format? What are the coordinates and extents of the grids used in UKCP09? What are viable return periods to investigate? What can I use to assess current and near-term vulnerabilities, impacts, risks and adaptation? What do the emissions scenarios mean? What emission scenario should be used? What is meant by robust or flexible adaptation? What other information is available on the historical and current climate of the UK? What other sources of information are there for exploring the impacts of climate change? What resources and help are available on the use of UKCP09? What user consultations have occurred? Where can I get help with using UKCP09? Where can I obtain daily data? Which probability level should I choose? Who should be interested in UKCP09? Why are some land areas not in land grid cells? Why bother using the projections if they are going to be replaced in time? Why does the UK need UKCP09? Why can't UKCP09 be used for near-term planning? Why does UKCP09 use 30-year time periods? Why have the 10, 50 and 90th probability levels been chosen for the key findings? Why improve quantification of uncertainty? Why is the greatest change of precipitation the 90% probability level in winter and the 10% probability level in summer? Why shouldn't I download a single map? Will spatial analogues be provided? Will UKCP09 tell me if my house is likely to get flooded in the future? Won't UKCP09 be too complicated for non-scientists to use?
