Multi-decadal regional climate model projections are assimilated into a linear statistical model in order to produce an ensemble of downscaled riverflows in the La Plata Basin and in southern-central Chile. The statistical model uses atmospheric circulation fields (geopotential heights at the 200 hPa level) as predictors in a perfect prognosis approach.enSouth American riverflowClimate changeStatistical downscalingModel projectionsDownscaled riverflowsPrognosis approachConference PresentationLandman, W., Diaz, A., Montecinos, A., & Engelbrecht, F.
