| description | Bias correction method is useful in reducing the statistically downscaled biases of global climate
models’ outputs and preserving statistical moments of the hydrological series. However,
bias correction method is less efficient under changed future conditions due to the
stationary assumption and perform poorly for removing bias at extremes thereby causing
unreliable bias-corrected data. Thus, the existing bias correction method with normal distribution
needs to be improved by incorporating skewed distributions into the model with
linear covariate to account for non-stationarity. This study develops bias correction method
with skewed distribution using quantile mapping technique to reduce biases in the extreme
temperatures data of peninsular Malaysia. The network input is the MIROC5 model output
gridded data for the period 1976-2005, and the model target used for bias correcting
the input data is the observed extreme temperatures sourced by the Malaysian Department
of Irrigation and Drainage for the same period. Results indicate that the proposed model
obtains more accurate estimates of future mortality rates based on model diagnostics and
precision analysis. Bias correction method with skewed distribution is used for bias correction
of MIROC5 modeled projected extreme temperatures for 2006-2100 corresponding
to the representative concentration pathways emission scenarios and it can correct the biases
of future data, assuming skewed distribution of future extreme temperatures data for
emission scenarios. Lognormal and Gumbel with linear covariate are the most appropriate
distributions to model the annual extreme temperatures. Simulation study was conducted
to validate the results. It was found that Gumbel with covariate is the best fitted distribution
for extreme temperature series than other distributions. Higher projection of extreme
temperatures is more pronounced under RCP8.5 with precise estimates ranging between 33-
42◦C compared with that under RCP4.5 with precise estimates ranging 30-32◦C. Finally,
the projection of extreme temperatures is used to calculate the mortality rate of cardiovascular
diseases across all regions in peninsular Malaysia which coincide with high extreme
temperatures ranging between 0.002 to 0.014. |
