Detailed Downscaling Description:
Gridded 1/24-deg(4-km) statistical downscaling of 20 GCMs from CMIP5 for historical (1950-2005) and future (2006-2100) RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios utilizing the Multivariate Adaptive Constructed Analogs(MACA, Abatzoglou, Brown, 2011) statistical method v2 (Hegewisch and Abatzoglou, in prep) and the METDATA (Abatzoglou,2011) training dataset for the surface variables: min/max temperature (tasmin/tasmax), min/max relative humidity (rhsmin/rhsmax), precipitation(pr), downward solar radiation(rsds), wind velocity (uas/vas), specific humidity (huss).
