When we use best-practice climate downscaling for individual
Australian locations, how do the climate sequences compare with
the historical record in terms of distributions of key variables? This
paper provides the first location-level estimates of projected climate
in three time periods spanning from the present to 2030, 2060 and
2090. Our analysis considers four important broadacre crop growing
regions in Australia by applying a statistically downscaled bias correction
method (Liu and Zuo, 2012) involving 18 GCMs under the
A2 emission scenario (Nakic´enovic´ and Swart, 2000).
