This article compares how well two different methods simulate China's climate - Very-fine-resolution GCM versus RCM Dynamical Downscaling. The main goal was to see which method worked best. Here's what they found:
- The Very-fine-resolution GCM was good at copying temperature patterns and trends, especially air temperature changes, better than the regular GCM.
- The Very-fine-resolution GCM did a better job at capturing temperature trends and changes in climate patterns than RCM Dynamical Downscaling.
- However, RCM Dynamical Downscaling was better at simulating climate patterns and changes in rainfall. Overall, the results suggest that using Very-fine-resolution GCM has potential for climate simulations, while RCM Dynamical Downscaling is still better for regional rainfall simulations.
