Simulation of Daily Climatic Series for the Assessment of Climate Change Impacts on Water Resources

by Bryson C. Bates,

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Engineering Hydrology

Abstract:

A new approach to the generation of climatic time series for studies of the impact of climate change on water resources is presented. The method adapts a current stochastic weather generator (WGEN) to generate synthetic daily precipitation, maximum and minimum temperatures, and solar radiation series for current and forecasted future climates. A case study involving the CSIRO9 general circulation model (GCM) and WGEN is used to illustrate the limitations of their simulations for Australian conditions and the need for a new approach to generating daily climatic series for the assessment of climate change impacts.
