Abstract

This study undertakes a comprehensive assessment of dynamical downscaling of summer monsoon (June–September; JJAS) rainfall over heterogeneous regions namely the Western Ghats (WG), Central India (CI) and North-Eastern Region (NER) for long term mean, excess and deficit episodes for the historical period from 1951 to 2005. This downscaling assessment is based on six Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiments (CORDEX) for South Asia (SAS) region, their five driving Global Climate Models (GCM) simulations along with observations from India Meteorological Department (IMD) and Asian Precipitation Highly Resolved Observational Integrated Towards Evaluation for Water Resources (APHRODITE). The analysis reveals an overall reduction of dry bias in rainfall across the regions of Indian sub-continent in most of the downscaled CORDEX-SAS models and in their ensemble mean as compared to that of driving GCMs.
