Statistical Downscaling and Bias Correction for Climate Research

English

By (author): Douglas Maraun Martin Widmann

Statistical downscaling and bias correction are becoming standard tools in climate impact studies. This book provides a comprehensive reference to widely-used approaches, and additionally covers the relevant user context and technical background, as well as a synthesis and guidelines for practitioners. It presents the main approaches including statistical downscaling, bias correction and weather generators, along with their underlying assumptions, skill and limitations. Relevant background information on user needs and observational and climate model uncertainties is complemented by concise introductions to the most important concepts in statistical and dynamical modelling. A substantial part is dedicated to the evaluation of regional climate projections and their value in different user contexts. Detailed guidelines for the application of downscaling and the use of downscaled information in practice complete the volume. Its modular approach makes the book accessible for developers and practitioners, graduate students and experienced researchers, as well as impact modellers and decision makers. See more

About Douglas MaraunMartin Widmann

Douglas Maraun is an associate professor and Head of the Regional Climate Modelling Group at the Wegener Center for Climate and Global Change at the Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz Austria. His research interests include the processes governing local extreme events assessing uncertainties of regional climate projections and statistical post-processing of climate simulations for adaptation planning. He chaired the VALUE network which carried out the most comprehensive inter-comparison and evaluation of different downscaling approaches and is involved in steering activities of the international downscaling initiative CORDEX. Martin Widmann is a senior lecturer and climate scientist in the School of Geography Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Birmingham. His current main research area is regional climate change in particular the development and validation of statistical downscaling methods. He was one of the first to apply bias correction in a climate change context and recently co-chaired the VALUE network. His other field of research is past climates in particular the development of data assimilation methods to combine climate simulations with empirical knowledge from proxy data.
