Technical notes on statistical downscaling method
CMIP5 statistically downscaled climate scenarios, named the Canadian Downscaled Climate Scenarios–Univariate method from CMIP5 (CanDCS-U5), presented on CCDS are based on the Bias Correction/Constructed Analogues with Quantile mapping version 2 (BCCAQv2) procedure.
Please visit the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium (PCIC) for statistically downscaled datasets based on other downscaling methods, such as the Bias-Correction Spatial Disaggregation (BCSD) and Bias Correction/Constructed Analogues with Quantile mapping reordering (BCCAQ) procedures.
Full datasets based on the BCCAQv2 procedure are also made available by PCIC.
