CORDEX (Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment)

CORDEX (Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment) is an international effort to improve climate predictions at regional levels. It involves using global climate models and applying specialized techniques to produce more detailed, localized climate information. This helps scientists, policymakers, and communities better understand regional climate changes, such as rainfall patterns and temperature shifts, which are crucial for planning and adaptation strategies. Essentially, CORDEX works to bridge the gap between broad global climate models and the specific climatic details needed for local decision-making.
