A number of modelling groups have used RCMs to dynamically downscale CMIP6 output over Australia
(i.e. to partly address these issues),
but these RCM data still have substantial biases, partly inherited from the driving GCMs.
As such, for many applications (e.g. regional impact modelling)
some form of bias correction of the RCM (or GCM) data will be required.
That means for many applications (e.g. regional impact modelling)
some form of bias correction of RCM (and/or GCM) data is required.
In order to identify the most appropriate bias correction methods,
the NPCP established a bias correction intercomparison project.
This paper presents the results of the first phase of that intercomparison.




General conclusions:
- The bias correction methods perform better on the calibration task than the cross validation task.
This is to be expected given the influence of internal variability on cross validation (as discussed earlier).

The exception was the CSDI and WSDI,

Caveats:
- Our metrics are pretty simple.
It could be that we'd see different results with more complex metrics.
