Robustness of pattern scaled climate change scenarios for adaptation decision support
... The pattern scaling approach is currently used to generate projections of climate change [4, 27] and to quantify their impacts on, for instance, ecosystems [40, 42] and water resources [44, 38] , and the contribution of land use changes to climate change [16].
