There is now a large published literature on the strengths and weaknesses of downscaling
methods for different climatic variables, in different regions and seasons. However, little …

We review recent advances in classifications of circulation patterns as a specific research
area within synoptic climatology. The review starts with a general description of goals of …

A new technique for statistically downscaling climate model simulations of daily temperature
and precipitation is introduced and demonstrated over the western United States. The …

Given its concentration in a few days and its modest total volume, knowledge about
precipitation with daily resolution in Spain is highly important. In this article, a concentration …

In this paper, we present a new publicly available high-resolution daily precipitation gridded
dataset developed for peninsular Spain and the Balearic islands using 2756 quality …

An objective classification scheme of the atmospheric circulation affecting Portugal, between
1946 and 1990, is presented, where daily circulation is characterized through the use of a …

The issues of downscaling the results from global climate models (GCMs) to a scale relevant
for hydrological impact studies are examined. GCM outputs, typically at a spatial resolution …

Because of the coarse resolution of general circulation models (GCM),'downscaling'
techniques have emerged as a means of relating meso‐scale atmospheric variables to grid …

Empirical-statistical downscaling (ESD) is a method for estimating how local climatic
variables are affected by large-scale climatic conditions. ESD has been applied to local …

This paper compares six statistical downscaling models (SDMs) and three regional climate
models (RCMs) in their ability to downscale daily precipitation statistics in a region of …
