A Comparative Study of Luzon Rainfall Simulations with the MM5 and the RegCM3 Models
The performance of the MM5 and the RegCM3 models in simulating total monthly rainfall has been evaluated. Total rainfall for the two months of June…
-
Comparative Analysis of Statistical Reduction and Classification Methods for Philippine Rainfall
Changing climatic conditions necessitate the updating of traditional climate classification schemes in the Philippines, which are based primarily on the Coronas Climate Atlas created in…
