High‐resolution projections of 21st century climate over the Athabasca River Basin through an integrated evaluation‐classification‐downscaling‐based climate projection framework

Abstract An evaluation‐classification‐downscaling‐based climate projection (ECDoCP) framework is developed to fill a methodological gap of general circulation models (GCMs)‐driven statistical‐downscaling‐based climate projections. ECDoCP includes four interconnected modules: GCM evaluation, climate classification, statistical downscaling, and climate projection. Monthly averages of daily minimum ( T min) and maximum ( T max) temperature and …
