Bias Correction of Terrestrial Water Availability: Comparison of Trend‐Preserving Cumulative Distribution Function Matching Methods by Jingyi Li, Boqiang Qin

“…ABSTRACT Terrestrial water availability, quantified by precipitation minus evapotranspiration (P−E), is essential in Earth's water cycle, whereas model simulation of P−E is still largely biased and requires a post‐processing procedure. This study introduces the grid‐by‐grid cumulative distribution function (CDF) matching method to correct simulation bias in P−E, based on the ERA5‐Land dataset and outputs from 13 selected CMIP6 global climate models. …”
