The effect of GCM biases on global runoff simulations of a land surface model

Global Climate Model (GCM) outputs feature systematic biases that render them unsuitable for direct use by impact models, especially for hydrological studies. To deal with this issue many bias correction techniques have been developed to adjust the modelled variables against observations, focusing mainly on precipitation and temperature. However most state-of-art hydrological models require more forcing variables, additionally to precipitation …
