RegCM4的QDM订正数据集是使用QDM方法 (Quantile Delta Mapping, QDM, Cannon et al., 2015) ,对5个全球模式分别驱动下的RegCM4结果进行订正后的结果。由于多种因素的作用,气候模式对气候的模拟或多或少的存在着系统性的误差,这样使得气候模式的结果经常或者很难直接应用于气候变化的影响评估研究,如将模式结果用来驱动水文或者农业模式等。因此,在模式结果应用于影响评估研究前,经常会对其进行误差订正处理。

QDM方法即delta分位数映射方法,是一种保留分位数变化的分位数映射方法 (quantile mapping, QM)。QM方法是假设经验累积分布函数(CDF)不随时间的变化而变化(具体计算方法和订正原理可参见如童尧等,2017)。但这种分布实际上是会发生改变的。

QDM的具体做法是,是对应模式预估的每一个分位数先做一个去趋势处理,之后再将建模时期构造的传递函数通过QM方法对模式的模拟结果进行订正,最后再将模式的趋势预估值(气温为绝对值,降水为相对值)叠加回订正结果中(见如Tong et al., 2021)。这样QDM订正方法在减小模拟偏差的同时,较好地保留了模式预估结果中的气候变化信号。

最后需要再次说明的是,误差订正方法并不能提高气候模式本身的模拟和预估技巧,其主要目的仍在于为影响评估研究提供基础数据。

The bias corrected RegCM4 QDM dataset is bias corrected multi-RegCM4 simulations driven individualy by five diffrent GCMs using QDM (Quantile Delta Mapping, QDM, Cannon et al., 2015) method. As well known, systematic biases of climate model simulations widely exist due to various reasons. It can be very difficult and sometimes even not possible to use model outputs directly in impact assessment studies, e.g., as forcings for hydrological and agricultural models. Thus, bias correction has been widely used to postprocess the climate model output prior to application for impact studies.

The QDM is based on the quantile delta change and detrended quantile mapping (QM) method. In general, the QM method assumes that the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for a variable in the simulation and observation time series remains un-changed in the future period (see more detail in e.g., Tong et al., 2017). However, this distribution has been found to change in future projections.

To be more specific, the model projection is firstly detrended by quantiles, and the simulated value is bias corrected by QM with the transfer function constructed in the calibration period. Then the projected absolute (for temperature) or relative (for precipitation) changes in quantiles are added or multiplied to the bias corrected model outputs to obtain the final results (see more detail in e.g. Tong et a;., 2021).Thus the model simulated climate signal is well preserved by using QMD during the bias correction which effectively removes the systematic model biases.

It is finally noted that the bias correction methods cannot improve the skill of climate models either in the present day climate simulation or in the projection of future changes, but again, basically aim to provide driving data for impact studies.
