Statistical tool for modeling of a daily precipitation process in the context of climate change

The present study proposes a climate change assessment tool based on a statistical downscaling (SD) approach for describing the linkage between large-scale climate predictors and observed daily rainfall characteristics at a local site. The proposed SD of the daily rainfall process (SDRain) model is...
