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
