ABSTRACT This study assesses recent and future changes in joint temperature and precipitation regimes at 28 sites in Bavaria, based on statistical downscaling of the ECHAM4 B2 Scenario (WETTREG). Monthly meteorological data of three future decades (2021–2030, 2031–2040 and 2041–2050) were compared w...
