What does this research mean for the field?

NorESM-driven Regional Climate Models (RegCM, CCLIM, and REMO) provide the most reliable overall precipitation simulations for the Cauvery Delta region, although no single model consistently outperforms others across all precipitation characteristics. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

To evaluate the historical precipitation simulation performance of eight CORDEX-CORE regional climate models across the Cauvery Delta using a comprehensive multi-criteria ranking framework.

Overview

Model evaluation reveals distinct performance trade-offs among regional climate models for precipitation, highlighting the need for multi-criteria ranking in agro-hydrological planning.

Key Points

To evaluate the historical precipitation simulation performance of eight CORDEX-CORE regional climate models across the Cauvery Delta using a comprehensive multi-criteria ranking framework.
Assessed eight CORDEX-CORE South Asia (0.22°) regional climate models against historical daily precipitation data (1976–2005) from 13 rain gauge stations in Thanjavur district, India.
Integrated seven statistical evaluation metrics using the Compromise Programming Index alongside analyses of precipitation occurrence, rainfall intensity occurrence, and cumulative rainfall distribution.
RegCM-based models demonstrated consistent wet biases, whereas REMO and CCLIM models systematically underestimated seasonal rainfall amounts.
NorESM–RegCM, NorESM-CCLIM, and NorESM-REMO achieved the highest overall performance rankings when integrated through the Compromise Programming Index.
Model skill varied according to the specific rainfall characteristic evaluated, with no single regional climate model consistently outperforming across all statistical and distributional criteria.
