EMPIRICAL-STATISTICAL DOWNSCALING
by Rasmus E Benestad (The Norwegian Meteorological Institute, Norway) , Inger Hanssen-Bauer (The Norwegian Meteorological Institute, Norway) , & Deliang Chen (University of Gothenburg, Sweden)
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 climate/weather studies for years, but there are few — if any — textbooks on the subject. It is also anticipated that ESD will become more important and commonplace in the future, as anthropogenic global warming proceeds. Thus, a textbook on ESD will be important for next-generation climate scientists.
