• Downscaling activities are required
• There are two general approaches : dynamical and

statistical downscaling

Downscaling Output

Statistical downscaling technique applied in this study has 4 m a i n s t e p s : 1) Develop quantitative functions between predictors (base year data from reanalysis) and predictands (statistical data from meteorological stations) by using ANN. 2) Apply the functions to project future point station data with future data from GCMs as predictors. 3) Generate grid data from future point station data 4 ) C a l i b r a t i o n o f g r i d d a t a .
