Statistical climate model downscaling for impact projections in the Midwest United States

Generalization of a statistical downscaling model to provide local climate change projections for Australia

Climate change information required for impact studies is of a much finer spatial scale than climate models can directly provide. Statistical downscaling models (SDMs) are commonly used to fill this scale gap. SDMs are based on the view that the regional climate is conditioned by two factors: (1) the largescale climatic state and (2) local physiographic features. An SDM based on an analogue app...

A Combined Dynamical and Statistical Downscaling Technique to Reduce Biases in Climate Projections: An Example for Winter Precipitation and Snowpack in the Western United States

11 Large biases associated with climate projections are problematic when it comes to 12 their regional application in the assessment of water resources and ecosystems. Here, we 13 demonstrate a method that can reduce systematic biases in regional climate projections. 14 The global and regional climate models employed to demonstrate this technique are the 15 Community Climate System Model (CCSM)...

Health System Reform in the United States

In 2010, the United States adopted its first-ever comprehensive set of health system reforms in the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Implementation of the law, though politically contentious and controversial, has now reached a stage where reversal of most elements of the law is no longer feasible. The controversial portions of the law that expand affordable health insurance coverage to most U.S. cit...
