How is it produced?

The UKCP09 Weather Generator builds on a well-established method. It begins by developing statistical relationships among daily climate variables using a baseline period climate and then introduces the UKCP09 projections to produce possible daily (and if required hourly) time series for future time periods. Generating time series that are consistent with the underlying probabilistic projections has necessitated the introduction of several innovations that are described in the Weather Generator report.

More information about the method used to develop the UKCP09 weather generator is provided in the Weather Generator report.  Users should familiarise themselves with the associated assumptions and limitations prior to attempting to use this or any other weather generator (or any other technique of downscaling).
