What is qmCH2018?

qmCH2018 is an implementation of quantile mapping (QM) based on empirical quantiles. The package for the R programming language has been developed at ETH Zurich and MeteoSwiss and is used for bias-correcting and downscaling EURO-CORDEX RCM output within the frame of the CH2018 Swiss Climate Change Scenarios.
