Sohn et al. (2013) Six month-lead downscaling prediction of winter to spring drought in South Korea based on a multimodel ensemble, GRL 40: 579-583.
Six month-lead (raw) MME prediction
• MME shows no skill in either
SPI6 or SPEI6 prediction in any
South Korea locations
• Predicting local hydrological
extreme is challenging, even
with the use of state-of-the-art
MME seasonal prediction
systems
Statistical downscaling: regression-based coupled pattern projection with optimal predictor selection
<Figure> Scatter plots of TCCs between the observed and predicted precipitation (x axis) and temperature (y axis), for the target month of (a) December, (b) January, (c) February, (d) March, (e) April, and (f) May. The “distance” between the downscaled and raw MME results is given at the upper right of each panel.
