Projected Future LOCA Statistical Downscaling (Localized Constructed Analogs) Statistically downscaled CMIP5 climate projections for North America
LOCA is a statistical downscaling technique that uses past history to add improved fine-scale detail to global climate models. We have used LOCA to downscale 32 global climate models from the CMIP5 archive at a 1/16th degree spatial resolution, covering North America from central Mexico through Southern Canada. The …
