Abstract: A number of statistical downscaling models are applied to the Canadian Climate Centre general circulation model (CCCM) outputs to provide climate change estimates for local daily surface temperature at a network of 39 ...

Abstract: Statistical downscaling methods and potential large-scale predictors are intercompared for winter daily mean temperature in a network of stations in central and western Europe. The methods comprise (i) canonical correlation ...

Abstract: The ability of the U. K. Meteorological Office High Resolution General Circulation Model (UKHI GCM) to simulate atmospheric circulation of continental scales, and the influence on circulation of doubled concentrations of ...

Abstract: AbstractAtmospheric reanalyses have been widely used to study large-scale atmospheric circulation and its links to local weather and to validate climate models. Only little effort has so far been made to compare reanalyses ...

Abstract: A method of estimating missing daily temperatures is proposed. The procedure is based on a weather classification consisting of two steps: principal component analysis and cluster analysis. At each time of observation ...

Abstract: Modes of low-frequency circulation variability in the Northern Hemisphere extratropics are compared between five reanalyses. Circulation modes are detected by rotated principal component analysis (PCA) of monthly mean 500 ...

Abstract: The time structure of simulated daily maximum and minimum temperature series, produced by several different methods, is compared with observations at six stations in central Europe. The methods are statistical downscaling, ...
