    Output from climate models is needed as input for engineering models for climate change adaptation and impacts modelling. However, these outputs still need to be bias-corrected and downscaled to be useful. Specifically for microclimate models, several output variables are needed that must correlate with each other, including temperature, rainfall, wind,...
