A geographic information system (GIS) web application was developed to show the temporal and spatial variability of bias corrected historic and future climate change across the Texas PanHandle region. Spatially downscaled (50 km2) global climate model (GCM) simulated precipitation, maximum temperature, and minimum temperature for the years 1971-2000 and 2041-2070 have been downloaded from North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP). Climate variables simulated by CRCM-CCSM, RCM3-GFDL, RCM3-CGCM3 regional climate models (RCMs) have been used for this study. Most of these model predictions are incorporated with bias due to scaling issues and immature/incomplete concepts. Typical biases include over estimation of rainfall events with low intensities and incorrect estimation of extreme temperatures. Removal of bias is important for reasonable predictions of future climate data. The bias from the historic and future climate datasets have been removed using distribution mapping technique. Bias in temperature and precipitation was removed using gaussian and gamma distribution mapping techniques respectively. This web application can be easily accessed and used by farmers, water managers, agri based industries, policy and decision makers, and other researchers to study the climate change trends across the region and plan accordingly. The web application provides the mean annual and mean monthly values of historic and future precipitation, maximum and minimum temperatures for each of the sixty seven counties in the region. [-]
