STARDEX Deliverable D13

Objective

To evaluate the reliability of downscaling predictor variables in the HadAM3P GCM

Responsible author

Christoph Frei, ETH

Outline

This report on STARDEX Deliverable 13 summarizes results from an evaluation of predictor variables as simulated by the control experiment of the standard GCM used in STARDEX. This evaluation marks one step in the procedure towards identifying robust downscaling methods. A range of different potential predictors are considered, some of which are common to several downscaling methods used across the consortium, others are specific to downscaling methods of individual partners and certain study regions.
