A multi-objective approach to select hydrological models and constrain structural uncertainties for climate impact assessments
(John Wiley and Sons, 2021-12)
The assessment of climate change impacts on water resources and flood risk is typically underpinned by hydrological models calibrated and selected based on observed streamflow records. Yet, changes in climate are rarely ...
Performance of Regional Climate Model Precipitation Simulations Over the Terrain-Complex Andes-Amazon Transition Region
(American Geophysical Union, 2024)
Regional climate models (RCMs) are widely used to assess future impacts associated with climate change at regional and local scales. RCMs must represent relevant climate variables in the present-day climate to be considered ...
