Abstract
This chapter presents various real-world global case studies in AR3 and AR5 perspective that are related to the evaluation of GCMs for maximum and minimum temperatures for India, intercomparison of statistical downscaling methods for projection of extreme precipitation in Europe, downscaling of climate variables using Support Vector Machine, Multiple Linear Regression for Malaprabha and Lower Godavari Basins, India and applicability of large-scale climate Teleconnections and Artificial Neural Networks for Regional Rainfall Forecasting for Orissa, India. In addition, the impact of climate change on semi-arid catchment water balance using an ensemble of GCMs for Malaprabha catchment, India; streamflow in four large African river basins; projection of rainfall–runoff for Murray–Hotham catchment of Western Australia; future changes in Mekong River hydrology are also parts of the chapter. The reader is expected to understand the impact studies through various case studies by studying this chapter.
