英文摘要:
The coarse grid spacing of global circulation models necessitates the application of downscaling techniques to investigate the local impact of a changing global climate. Difficulties arise for data-sparse regions in complex topography, as they are computationally demanding for dynamic downscaling and often not suitable for statistical downscaling due to the lack of high-quality observational data. The Intermediate Complexity Atmospheric Research (ICAR) model is a physics-based model that can be applied without relying on measurements for training and is computationally more efficient than dynamic downscaling models. This study presents the first in-depth evaluation of multiyear precipitation time series generated with ICAR on a
