A framework to compare the performance of spatial disaggregation methods of statistical climate downscaling in South America

Study region Chile and South America. Study focus Climate change is simulated at a coarse scale with General Circulation Models. Impact and regional studies require downscaling to increase spatial resolution. Several downscaling methods exist, but most studies do not analyze or c...

Measuring Dissimilarity between Convex Cones by Means of Max-Min Angles

Abstract. This work introduces a novel dissimilarity measure between two convex cones, based on the max-min angle between them. We demonstrate that this measure is closely related to the Pompeiu–Hausdorff distance, a well-established metric for comparing compact sets. Furthermore...
