The main aim of this work was to assess the capability of both GCMs and RCMs in simulating present climate conditions over Argentina and developing objective criteria for model selection. Evaluating models? performance allowed identifying systematic model biases. Hence, another objective of this work was to remove systematic climate biases in the selected GCMs and RCMs in order to produce a set of high-resolution climate projection dataset (0.5 lat x 0.5 lon) appropriate for the national climate change impact studies.
