Downscaling Climate Models: Sharpening the Focus on Local-Level Changes

evaluating different aogcms and downscaling procedures in climate change local impact assessment studies

due to the growth of industries and factories, deforestation and other environmental degradation a well as greenhouse gases have been increasing greenhouse gases on the earth's surface in recent decades. this increase disturbs the climate of the earth and is called climate change. an increase in greenhouse gases in the future could exacerbate the climate change phenomenon and have several ...

An Evaluation of Statistical and Dynamical Techniques for Downscaling Local Climate

An assessment is made of downscaling estimates of screen temperature and precipitation observed at 976 European stations during 1983–94. A statistical downscaling technique, in which local values are inferred from observed atmospheric predictor variables, is compared against two dynamical downscaling techniques, based on the use of the screen temperature or precipitation simulated at the neares...

CORDEX – An international climate downscaling initiative

The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) is backing an international initiative called the COordinated Regional climate Downscaling EXperiment (CORDEX). The goal of the initiative is to provide regionally downscaled climate projections for most land regions of the globe, as a compliment to the global climate model projections performed within the fifth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (...

Convolutional Neural Networks for Climate Downscaling

A key challenge in climate modeling is the assessment of the impact of global climate variables on regional weather measurements such as temperature and precipitation. This assessment is usually done by downscaling the output of (coarse resolution) global climate models to regional (high resolution) predictions. There are two independent downscaling pathways: dynamic and statistical. Dynamic do...
