Evaluating climate change impacts on the hydrology of watershed in northwestern China using a stepwise‐clustered downscaling approach

ABSTRACT In this study, a stepwise‐clustered downscaling model ( SCDM ) is advanced for transferring atmospheric simulation outputs to acquire high‐resolution climate projections at a large‐scale watershed system. SCDM can operate different temporal resolutions of atmospheric variables with continuous and discrete complexities. SCDM coupling with hydrological model is used for evaluating climate change impacts on hydrology of the Kaidu …
