A Physical Scaling Method To Incorporate Regional Physical Characteristics In Future Climatic And Hydrologic Predictions, Abhishek Gaur
A Physical Scaling Method To Incorporate Regional Physical Characteristics In Future Climatic And Hydrologic Predictions, Abhishek Gaur
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
In this thesis an original Physical Scaling (SP) method for downscaling Global Circulation Model (GCM) based climatic projections has been developed, tested and applied over a study region. The model formulation can take into account regional physical characteristics like land-cover and elevation into the model formulation. A thorough verification of the method and its extension: SP with Surrounding pixel information (SPS) method has been performed and their performance towards downscaling GCM based precipitation, surface temperature and air temperature has been compared with many state-of-the-art downscaling models like Bias Correction Spatial Downscaling (BCSD) method, Statistical DownScaling Method (SDSM) and Generalized Linear …
