These two RCMs are selected for assessing potential climate change impact on IDF curves.
Four different sets of global reanalysis data (NCEP/NCAR-R1, NCEP-DOE-R2, ERA40, and 20CR) that were previously downscaled using two RCMs (MM5 and RSM) were obtained, bias-corrected on a daily basis using the CDF-mapping approach, and used to drive an integrated hydrologic model (INTB) that was previously calibrated and verified for the Tampa Bay region.
For example, Dessai (2003) used results from two RCMs (PROMES and HadRM2) that yield greater spatial details about climate.
Because of the difference in the target decades and CO2 concentrations, results from the two RCMs cannot be directly compared.

The suitability of seven RCMs on simulating temporal variation of rainfall at the fine-scale is assessed for the case study region.
Next, the grid-based IDF curves derived from MM5 were compared to IDF curves derived from six RCMs of the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) set up with 50-km grids, driven with NCEP-DOE (National Centers for Environmental Prediction-Department of EneReanalysislysII II data, and regional IDF curves derived from observed rain gauge data (RG-IDF).
The corresponding changes for central eastern Greece presented by Zanis et al. (2009) based on PRUDENCE dataset consisting of nine RCMs for winter of period 2071 2100 and A2 scenario are − 20.4% for precipitation and 3.70 °C for temperature.
Concerning the autumn season, precipitation data aggregation from the four RCMs indicates that seasonal precipitation change may vary on average from − 19.0 (period 2061 2080) to 0.4% (period 2021 2040), while corresponding temperature increase ranges between 1.4 and 3.6 °C.
The corresponding changes for central eastern Greece presented by Zanis et al. (2009) based on PRUDENCE dataset consisting of nine RCMs for summer of period 2071 2100 and A2 scenario are − 54.2% for precipitation and 5.00 °C for temperature.
When aggregating precipitation data from the four RCMs for the four future periods and comparing to the period 1981 2000, winter precipitation decrease ranges between 7.2% (period 2041 2060) and 14.0% (period 2081 2100) and temperature increase ranges between 2.06 (period 2021 2040) and 3.80 °C (period 2081 2100).
The four RCMs selected in the context of the present study have been found to sufficiently represent precipitation and temperature variation in several Mediterranean basins when compared to observed data (Deidda et al. 2013), while they are also introducing a significant degree of variation both for precipitation and temperature.
