TLDR
The relationship between global and regional climate models is much akin to that of global and local weather forecasting models as discussed by the authors, and the development of regional climate model has led to increased resolution, longer model runs, and steps towards regional climate system models.Abstract:
Regional climate models are used by a large number of groups, for more or less all regions of the world. Regional climate models are complementary to global climate models. A typical use of regional climate models is to add further detail to global climate analyses or simulations, or to study climate processes in more detail than global models allow. The relationship between global and regional climate models is much akin to that of global and regional weather forecasting models. Over the past 20 years, the development of regional climate models has led to increased resolution, longer model runs, and steps towards regional climate system models. During recent years, community efforts have started to emerge in earnest, which can be expected to further advance the state-of-the-art in regional climate modeling. Applications of regional climate models span both the past and possible future climates, facilitating climate impact studies, information and support to climate policy, and adaptation.

Bias Correcting Climate Change Simulations - a Critical Review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a stochastic model for bias correction of global and regional climate models, which is based on the assumption that the considered climate model produces skillful input for a bias correction, including a plausible representation of climate change.
