The 2nd Workshop of the Flagship Pilot Study (FPS) “Dynamical Downscaling Experiments and Hydrological Modelling for Canada and Mexico” will be held at the Centro del Cambio Global y la Sustentabilidad (CCGS) in Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico, on November 12-13, 2024.
This FPS focuses on conducting dynamical downscaling experiments for North America—encompassing Mexico, the United States, and Canada—using two of the CMIP6 Earth System Models (ESMs) identified as having the best performance for these regions, based on statistical metrics (Colorado et al., 2018). These ESMs will force the RegCM and WRF models, and their capabilities will be evaluated. Additionally, the FPS will present some results related to the statistical downscaling of CMIP6 models, particularly for southern and southeastern Mexico (Andrade-Velázquez & Montero-Martínez, 2023a, 2023b; Andrade-Velázquez et al., in press).
The objectives of the workshop include providing an update on the project’s current status and outlining the activities necessary to complete it. An open session with local stakeholders will also be held. The event will feature presentations from participants and interactive discussions among the three key groups: dynamical downscaling, statistical downscaling, and hydrology. There will be ample opportunity for open dialogue, focusing on internal communication, project milestones, and strategies for achieving them. Information on data, software, and products will also be shared.

A report from the workshop will be provided aftet the event.
