Statistical downscaling with artificial neural networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Statistical downscaling methods seek to model the relationship between large scale atmospheric circulation, on say a European scale, and climatic variables, such as temperature and precipitation, on a regional or subregional scale. Downscaling is an important area of research as it bridges the gap between predictions of future circulation generated by General Circulation Models (GCMs) and the effects of climate change on smaller scales, which are often of greater interest to end-users. In this paper we describe a neural network based approach to statistical downscaling, with application to the analysis of events associated with extreme precipitation in the United Kingdom.

In the present research, the climate change effect on variation of surface runoff of Zarrinehrud located in the Miandoab plain was investigated. In this direction, the scenarios including A1B, A2 and B1 via LARS-WG downscaling model and with applying the HadCM3 general circulation model and artificial neural network model in two different periods (2046-2065, 2080 -2099) were studied. For thi...

متن کاملConvolutional 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...
