Abstract
Downscaling experiments are undertaken using kriging and distance-decay function interpolation to produce high resolution maps of temperature and precipitation in Poland from the GFDL and GISS macroscale scenarios. Measurements of precipitation and temperature at 58 stations are used to test the applications and to calculate the effects of the scenarios on areal averages. Average annual precipitation in Poland would rise from 639 mm to 749 mm under the GISS scenario and to 655 in the GFDL scenario. The spatial median mean air temperature would rise from 7.7°C to 10.5°C and 11.9°C respectively.
