A new project on development and application of comprehensive downscaling methods over Hokkaido.
Abstract
A new project on development and application of comprehensive downscaling methods over Hokkaido started as one of the branches of "Research Program on climate change adaptation" funded by Ministry of Education, Sports, Culture, Science, and Technology of Japan in 2010. Our group will develop two new downscaling algorithms in order to get more information on the uncertainty of high/low temperatures or heavy rainfall. Both of the algorithms called "sampling downscaling" and "hybrid downscaling" are based upon the mixed use of statistical and dynamical downscaling ideas. Another point of the project is to evaluate the effect of land-use changes in Hokkaido, where the major pioneering began only about a century ago. Scientific outcomes on climate changes in Hokkaido from the project will be provided to not only public sectors in Hokkaido but also people who live in Hokkaido through a graphical-user-interface system just like a weather forecast system in a forecast-center's webpage.
