There are many climate change scenarios, these scenarios are different according to downscaling technique, what is the new technique.
Dear Osama,
Climate change scenarios can be seen as combinations of greenhouse gas concentration scenarios (RCP scenarios), global climate models (GCMs) and downscaling methods. Generally, four RCP scenarios are considered and can be combined with many different GCMs available. Downscaling techniques can be grouped into dynamical downscaling methods (mainly including regional climate models - RCMs) and statistical downscaling methods. The choice and appropriateness of a particular method depends on the geographical and climatological characteristics of the study area, the aim of the study and the availability of data to apply a specific method. See for instance the attached paper by Marie Ekström and co-authors with gives an overview of downscaling methods.
Best wishes,
Martijn

I would like to recommend you the paper of my colleague J. Ribalaygua:

This paper was used by ourselves in some works as the enclosed:
the best way to analyzing climate change through remote sensing.......software used ArcGIS, ENVI, Erdas imagine.
