Statistical downscaling of regional climate model output to achieve projections of precipitation extremes

Statistical downscaling of regional climate model output to achieve projections of precipitation extremes

In this work we perform a statistical downscaling by applying a CDF transformation function to local-level daily precipitation extremes (from NCDC station data) and corresponding NARCCAP regional climate model (RCM) output to derive local-scale projections. These high-resolution projections are esse...
