“…Apart from the presence of biases, CM rainfall products are also characterized by intrinsic uncertainties originating from multiple sources, such as the emission scenario and initial conditions used (usually referred to as GCM intra‐model variability), the length of the calibration period, the insufficient resolution of local topographic features and, more importantly, the GCM/RCM combination used [see Giorgi and Francisco , ; Pan et al ., ; Räisänen , ; Déqué et al ., ; Lucarini et al ., ; Gleckler et al ., ; Foley , ; Chen et al ., ; Bastola et al ., ; Sulis et al ., ; Deidda et al ., ; Hasson et al ., ; Mascaro et al ., ; Fatichi et al ., , among others]. The latter factor (also referred to as inter‐model variability) has been identified as the most critical source of uncertainty in hydrologic simulations [see e.g., Giorgi and Francisco , ; Déqué et al ., ; Lucarini et al ., ; Kjellström et al ., ; Chen et al ., ; Sulis et al ., ; Deidda et al ., ; Langousis et al ., ].…”
