Global Circulation Models (GCMs) serve as pivotal tools in climate science research. Despite their critical role in understanding and predicting climate change, GCMs often exhibit significant discrepancies with observational data due to systematic and random errors, which has driven the progress of Bias Correction (BC) techniques.This study explores the bias correction approach based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to improve the accuracy of Expert Team on Climate Change variability. This research not only highlights the potential of CNN deep learning technique in enhancing the accuracy and reliability of extreme precipitation predictions, but also shows insights into uncertainty decomposition and variation to better understand various sources of uncertainty within climate projections.

Keywords: extreme precipitation, Convolutional Neural Network, CMIP6, Uncertainty decomposition, Bias Correction
