Downscaling of monthly precipitation using CMIP5 climate models operated under RCPs

Prediction of Rainfall under HadCM3 and CanESM2 Climate Change Models using Statistical Downscaling Model (Case Study: Tabriz Synoptic Station)

Global climate change as a main factor affecting all ecological components, has been attended by researchers all over the world in the recent years. In this regard for simulating the rainfall, National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) data, HadCM3 data under A2 and B2 scenarios, CanESM2 data under RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios were utilized. This research was performed by adopt...

Performance evaluation of artificial neural networks in statistical downscaling of monthly precipitation (Case study: Minab watershed)

Downscaling CMIP5 climate models shows increased tropical cyclone activity over the 21st century.

A recently developed technique for simulating large [O(10(4))] numbers of tropical cyclones in climate states described by global gridded data is applied to simulations of historical and future climate states simulated by six Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 (CMIP5) global climate models. Tropical cyclones downscaled from the climate of the period 1950-2005 are compared with those of the...

Prediction of Climate Change in Western of Iran using Downscaling of HadCM3 Model under Different Scenarios

Abstract    Considering that water resources are at risk from climate change, the study of temperature and precipitation changes in the coming years can lead to droughts such as droughts, sudden floods, high evaporation and environmental degradation. To this end, global climate models (GCMs) are designed to assess climate change. The outputs of these models have low spatial accuracy. In order ...

Statistical downscaling of precipitation

Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract Global Circulation Models (GCMs) are a major tool used for future projections of climate change using different emission scenarios. However, for assessing the hydrological impacts of climate change at the watershed and the regional scale, ...
