Abstract
The methods used in an earlier study focusing on the province of Ontario, Canada, were adapted for this current study to expand the study area over eastern Canada where the infrastructure is at risk of being impacted by freezing rain.To estimate possible impacts of climate change on future freezing rain events, a three-step process was used in the study: (1) statistical downscaling, (2) synoptic weather typing, and (3) future projections.A regression-based downscaling approach, constructed using different regression methods for different meteorological variables, was used to downscale the outputs of eight general circulation models to each of 42 hourly observing stations over eastern Canada.Using synoptic weather typing (principal components analysis, a clustering procedure, discriminant function analysis), the freezing rain-related weather types under historical climate and future downscaled climate conditions (2016-2035, 2046-2065, 2081-2100) were identified for all selected stations.The potential changes in the frequency of future daily freezing rain events can be projected quantitatively by comparing future and historical frequencies of freezing rain-related weather types.The modelled results show that eastern Canada could experience more freezing rain events late this century during the coldest months (i.e., December to February) than the averaged historical conditions.Conversely, during the warmest months of the study season (i.e., November and April in the southern regions, October in the northern regions), eastern Canada could experience less freezing rain events late this century.The increase in the number of daily freezing rain events in the future for the coldest months is projected to be progressively greater from south to north or from southwest to northeast across eastern Canada.The relative decrease in magnitude of future daily freezing rain events in the warmest months is projected to be much less than the relative increase in magnitude in the coldest months.RSUM [Traduit par la rdaction] Nous avons adapt pour la prsente tude les mthodes utilises dans une tude prcdente concernant l'Ontario, au Canada, afin d'tendre la zone tudie l'est du Canada o l'infrastructure risque d'tre touche par la pluie verglaante.Pour estimer les rpercussions possibles du changement climatique sur les vnements de pluie verglaante futurs, nous avons adopt un processus en trois tapes dans cette tude : (1) la rduction statistique, (2) le typage des conditions synoptiques et (3) les projections dans le futur.Nous avons employ une mthode de rduction base sur la rgression, construite l'aide de diffrentes techniques de rgression pour diffrentes variables mtorologiques, pour rduire les sorties de huit modles de circulation gnrale chacune de 42 stations d'observations horaires dans l'est du Canada.Au moyen du typage des conditions synoptiques (analyse des composantes principales, une procdure d'agrgation, analyse discriminante), nous avons identifi les types mtorologiques lis la pluie verglaante dans le climat historique et les conditions climatiques rduites futures (2016-2035, 2046-2065, 2081-2100) pour toutes les stations slectionnes.Les changements potentiels dans la frquence future des jours avec pluie verglaante peuvent tre projets quantitativement en comparant les frquences futures et historiques des types mtorologiques lis la pluie verglaante.Les rsultats modliss montrent que l'est du Canada pourrait subir plus d'vnements de pluie verglaante dans la dernire partie du prsent sicle durant les mois les plus froids (c.--d.de dcembre fvrier) que ce qu'indiquent les conditions historiques moyennes.Rciproquement, durant les mois les plus chauds de la saison l'tude (c.--d.novembre et avril dans les rgions mridionales; octobre dans les rgions septentrionales), l'est du Canada pourrait subir moins d'vnements de pluie verglaante dans la dernire partie du sicle.En se dplaant du sud vers le nord ou du sud-ouest vers le nord-est dans l'est du Canada, il est prvu que l'accroissement du nombre d'vnements de pluie verglaante durant les mois les plus froids ira en grandissant.La diminution relative du nombre d'vnements

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
