Dear,
I have a dataset of observed temperature data for a small region that I want to use in order to bias correct the RCM data provided by the website "esgf-data.dkrz".
However, in the experiment tab I found "evaluation / historical/ RCP4.5/RCP8.5”.
- I know this RCP are for future scenarios (not bias corrected) but what are the two others used for?
- In addition, I don't know which software to use to correct the data?
Logically I should correct the "historical" data experiment based on my observed one then do a projection for the RCP4.5.
In case I have no overserved temperature data:
- Is there any available sources providing reliable temperature historical data?
Any guidance or explanation is appreciated.
Regards
Dear Mohamed Benhsinat ,
For bias correction of future modeled data (different RCP's) I suggest to use Qmap library in R: " https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/qmap/qmap.pdf ".
There are examples provided inside the document (above) that may help you.
There are different methods for bias corrections, such as the methods that are compared by the works such as :doi:10.5194/hess-16-3383-2012) and Article Bias Correcting Climate Change Simulations - A Critical Review
