A Constrained Stochastic Weather Generator for Daily Mean Air Temperature and Precipitation (open access)

A Constrained Stochastic Weather Generator for Daily Mean Air Temperature and Precipitation

This article develops and tests a constrained stochastic weather generator (CSWG) for producing daily mean air temperature and precipitation based on annual mean air temperature and precipitation from tree-ring records. It presents a unique method that can be used to explore historic (e.g., archeological questions) or future (e.g., climate change) daily weather conditions based upon specified annual values.
