1 STATISTICAL DOWNSCALING OF DAILY PRECIPITATION IN THE ARGENTINE PAMPAS REGION Bettolli ML- Penalba OC Department of Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina National Council of Research and Development (CONICET), Argentina ICRC-CORDEX 2016
2 MOTIVATION The Pampas covers the most productive agricultural land in Argentina The main crops are: Soybean, corn, wheat and sunflower Pampas Region
3 MOTIVATION Argentina is the largest exporter of soybean products and in terms of production size comes third in the world after the United States and Brazil Pampas Region
4 MOTIVATION Crops grow under rain-fed conditions. Precipitation is one of the principal climatic variables of influence for the production and management of crops Pampas Region
5 MOTIVATION CORDEX-ESD-Experiment 1 was set and performed in the La Plata Basin region. Prior to this experiment, empirical statistical downscaling on a daily basis had not been widely developed or applied over the region La Plata Basin Pampas Region South America
6 MOTIVATION There is a need to promote ESD applications in southern South American regions La Plata Basin Pampas Region South America
7 OBJECTIVE To calibrate and validate a statistical method to downscale daily precipitation in the Argentine Pampas region.
8 DATA AND METHODOLOGY 0 Predictand: Daily precipitation. 28 weather stations. Predictors: NCEP R2 daily fields. Three different domains (orange rectangles) MSLP hgt 500 hpa hgt 850 hpa u 850 hpa v 850 hpa v 200 hpa T 850 hpa rhum 850 hpa -60
9 DATA AND METHODOLOGY Analogue Method: Unrestricted analogues were chosen in a different calendar + year - 1 year Euclidean distance Different domains and combinations of variables were evaluated Calibration: Validation:
10 DATA AND METHODOLOGY Different aspects of daily precipitation were evaluated through different metrics: Precipitation ocurrence Precipitation amount

20 Interannual variability Summer precipitation frequency Correlation values
21 Interannual variability Summer precipitation frequency Correlation values Good general agreement in the validation period
22 Interannual variability Summer precipitation amount Correlation values
23 Interannual variability Summer precipitation amount Correlation values The agreement depends on the station
24 Wet spells: Winter Summer
25 Wet spells: Winter Summer The probability of wet spells is well captured except for Santa Rosa St in Winter (low precipitation in Winter)

27 Cold Season Warm Season RESULTS 75th Percentile Observed Estimated AN NCEP R mm/day
28 Cold Season Warm Season RESULTS 75th Percentile Observed Estimated AN NCEP R2 Good agreement in the spatial distribution and values of the 75th underestimates the percentile in both seasons. 75th Percentile NCEP R mm/day
29 Concluding Remarks The ESD performance depends on the season and station: the lowest skill was found in Summer related to small scale processes that lead to precipitation. However, the results show the great potential of the method which is able to reproduce different aspects of daily precipitation with a very good level of accuracy.
30 Concluding Remarks These results encurage us to: continue exploring the advantages of ESD to produce actionable regional climate information evaluate different ESD methods apart from the analogue method
