Downscaling climate change information potential hydrological applications and water management in the Murray-Darling Basin (IWC5 Presentation)
Bertrand Timbal, Bureau of Meteorology, CAWCR
Presentation given during the 5th GEF Biennial International Waters Conference in Cairns, Australia (during the pre-conference workshop for freshwater ecosystems, Global Changes and Water Resources Workshop).
The Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research
A partnership between CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology
Outline:
• Statistical downscaling: how do we do it?
• Application toward integrated hydrological impact assessments
• Need for daily site data that have the same statistics as observed
• Daily at-site data is used to drive models of natural resource systems
• Getting daily statistics correct is very important.
• GCMs provide grid-average
