Downscaling
Method to obtain local-
scale weather and climate,
particularly at the surface level,
from regional-scale
atmospheric variables that are
provided by GCMs
statistical donwscaling - I Putu Santikayasa 7
Downscaling technique
1. Dynamical climate modelling
2. Synoptic weather typing
3. Stochastic weather generation
4. Transfer-function approaches
Statistical
downscaling

Dynamic downscaling
• Dynamical downscaling involves the nesting of a higher
resolution Regional Climate Model (RCM) within a coarser
resolution GCM.
statistical donwscaling - I Putu Santikayasa 9
Limitations of RCM
• Computationally demanding (Costly)
• The scenarios produced by RCMs are also sensitive to
the boundary conditions used to initiate experiments

Weather typing
• Weather typing approaches involve grouping local
meteorological data in relation to prevailing patterns of
atmospheric circulation.
• E.g. cluster analysis, self-organising map, and extreme
value distribution

Stochastic weather generators
• Modifying the parameters of conventional weather
generators.
• E.g Markov-type procedures, conditional probability
statistical donwscaling - I Putu Santikayasa 12
Transfer Function
• Transfer-function downscaling methods rely on empirical
relationships between local scale predictands and
regional scale predictor(s)
• E.g. Regression, canonical correlation analysis, and
artificial neural networks

SDSM
Statistical downscaling model • SDSM is a decision support tool for assessing local
climate change impacts
• SDSM facilitates the rapid development of multiple, low-cost, single-site scenarios of daily surface weather variables under current and future regional climate forcing.
• The software performs the additional tasks • predictor variable pre-screening
• model calibration
• basic diagnostic testing
• statistical analyses and
• graphing of climate data.

1. Quality Control and Data Transformation
• Quality control : To check an input file for missing data
and/or suspect values
statistical donwscaling - I Putu Santikayasa 21
Quality control and data transformation
• Data transformation
statistical donwscaling - I Putu Santikayasa 22
2. Screening Predictors Variables
• Identifying empirical relationships between gridded
predictors (such as mean sea level pressure) and single
site predictands (such as station precipitation)
• Central to all statistical downscaling methods
• The most time consuming step in the process
• As the guidance on selecting the appropriate predictor
variables for model calibration

Screening predictors setup
• Select predictand file
• Select predictor variables
• Data: start/end date, analysis period
• Process: unconditional/conditional
• Significant level
• Autoregressive
statistical donwscaling - I Putu Santikayasa 25
Screening variables
• investigate the percentage of variance explained by
specific predictand–predictor pairs. The strength of
individual predictors often varies markedly on a month by
month basis
Tmin :
temp,rhum,r500

Correlation matrix
• investigate inter–variable
correlations for specified sub–
periods (annual, seasonal or
monthly).
• partial correlations between
the selected predictors and
predictand.
• help to identify the amount of
explanatory power that is
unique to each predictor.

Scatterplot
• Used for visual inspections of
inter–variable behaviour for
specified sub–periods (annual,
seasonal or monthly).
• Indicate the nature of the
association (linear, non–linear,
etc.), whether or not data
transformation(s) may be
needed, and the importance of
outliers.

3. Model Calibration
• Constructs downscaling models based on multiple
regression equations, given daily weather data (the
predictand) and regional–scale, atmospheric (predictor)
variables

Model Calibration
• Select Predictand File
• Output PAR file
• Data Period
• Model type
• Process
• Autoregression
• Residual analysis
• Chow test
• Histogram catagories

4. Weather Generator
• Produces ensembles of synthetic daily weather series
given observed (or NCEP re–analysis) atmospheric
predictor variables and regression model weights
produced by the Calibrate Model operation
• Enables the verification of calibrated models (assuming
the availability of independent data) as well as the
synthesis of artificial time series representative of present
climate conditions
• Used to reconstruct predictands or to infill missing data

6. Scenario Generation
• Produces ensembles of synthetic daily weather series
given daily atmospheric predictor variables supplied by a
GCM (either under present or future greenhouse gas
forcing). The GCM predictor variables must be normalised
with respect to a reference period (or control run) and
available for all variables used in model calibration

7. Graphing Monthly Statistics
• Enables the User to plot monthly statistics produced by
the Summary Statistics
• Graphing options allow the comparison of two sets of
results and hence rapid assessment of downscaled
versus observed, or present versus future climate
scenarios
