Overview

The Climate Data Bias Corrector tool is developed for removing the bias from Global Climate Model (GCM)/Regional Climate Model (RCM) derived outputs of climate variables- precipitation, temperature and solar radiation for the historical as well as the future period. The tool is developed using a free and open-source widget toolkit- PyQt available in Python. The source codes of the tool can be found at Source Code folder which are feasible to modify/update in future for further improvement of used as well as the addition of new methodologies to remove the bias from GCM/RCM projections.

Installation
