High‐resolution temperature and precipitation projections over Ontario, Canada: a coupled dynamical‐statistical approach

We develop a dynamical–statistical downscaling approach by coupling the PRECIS regional modelling system and a statistical method—SCADS—to construct very high resolution climate projections for studying climate change impacts at local scales. The coupled approach performs very well in hindcasting the mean temperature of present‐day climate, while the performance for precipitation is relatively poor due to its high spatial variability and …
