Assessing future rainfall projections using multiple GCMs and a multi-site stochastic downscaling model

► We model daily rainfall over an Indian catchment using a statistical downscaling model and atmospheric data of five GCMs. ► The model is calibrated using rainfall and reanalysis data for the years 1971-2002. ► GCMs data for the periods 2046-2065 and 2081-2100 is used to obtain rainfall projections. ► We find reasonable skill in simulating daily rainfall over the study region for the current climate. ► We find no significant changes in the temporal and spatial structure of annual rainfall in the future by all the models.
