Theme 2: Downscaling
Technological Development Organizations

Overview

Theme 2, downscaling, develops downscaling techniques at 1-km resolution, which is necessary for reviewing climate change adaptation measures by local governments and which is based on near-term prediction results obtained from Theme 1.

Specifically, it develops methods to create downscaling-projected information at approximately 1-km resolution covering the period of up to the next few years or decades. At the same time, it gathers the achievements from the past projects and the prediction results at 20-km resolution from Theme 1. The outcomes of the downscaling projections are provided for the technological development organizations to formulate techniques for climate change impact assessments (Theme 3).
