Considerable variations in the probabilities of near-normal conditions and extreme drought are seen from years 2000–10 to 2040–50. The probability of near normal conditions is reduced, and that of extreme drought is increased ...
1.1 FLOODS: NATURAL PROCESSES AND (UN)NATURAL DISASTERS Since the earliest recorded civilizations, such as those in Mesopotamia and Egypt that developed in the fertile floodplains of the Tigris and Euphrates and Nile rivers, ...
Flood risk management is presented in this book as a framework for identifying, assessing and prioritizing climate-related risks and developing appropriate adaptation responses.
This book provides methods for assessment of the trends in these events and their impacts. It also provides a basis to develop procedures and guidelines for climate-adaptive hydrologic engineering.
3.4 STATISTICAL DOWNSCALING APPROACHES Statistical downscaling derives a statistical or empirical relationship between the variables simulated by the GCMs, called predictors, and station-scale hydrologic variables, called predictands.
For a detailed description of statistical downscaling methods and their applications, readers are referred to the books ... 2011) or through empirical/statistical downscaling (von Storch et al., 1993; Rummukainen, 1997; Benestad et al., ...
