Summary:
Background
PRECIS (Providing REgional Climates for Impacts Studies) was developed to help generate high-resolution climate change information for as many regions of the world as possible. This tool provides climate impact assessments in developing country contexts which are freely available to numerous users. The tool uses GCM (GCM) to provide grid-scale averages of spatio-temporal hydro-climatic state variables as well as soil hydrology and thermodynamics, and some vegetation dynamic variables. The tool is applicable to multiple scales, sectors and levels of screening but is limited fine/point scale information. More information >
