CORDEX Empirical/Statistical Downscaling Workshops: Establishing a Foundation for Climate-Stakeholder Interaction in Africa

该赠款为两个研讨会提供了支持，这些研讨会将调查经验/统计缩尺的潜力，这是一种估计区域和/或全球条件如何影响当地气候的方法，以帮助建立一个强大的知识平台，为适应环境变化的决策提供支持。这种方法将汇集研究界、利益攸关方和实践者，为评价这种技术产生的数据建立更严格的基础，并调查将数据纳入针对适应和影响界需求的产出的效力。该研讨会将汇集一个国际社会，为一系列正在进行和拟议的与利益攸关方相关的适应活动提供强大的科学基础。

This grant provides support for two workshops that will investigate the potential of empirical/statistical downscaling, a method to estimate how local climate is affected by regional and/or global conditions, to help develop a robust knowledge platform for decisions regarding adaptation to environmental change. This approach will bring together the research community, stakeholders and practitioners to establish a more rigorous foundation for the evaluation of data generated by this technique and to investigate the efficacy of including the data in outputs targeted at the needs of the adaptation and impact communities. The workshop will bring together an international community that will contribute a strong scientific base to a broad range of ongoing and proposed stake-holder relevant adaptation activities.
