Statistical downscaling in central Europe: evaluation of methods and potential predictors
Open accessAbstract
Several statistical downscaling methods and large-scale predictors are evaluated to ascertain their potential to determine daily mean temperatures at 39 stations in central Europe.The methods include canonical correlation analysis, singular value decomposition, and 3 multiple regression models.The potential large-scale predictors are 500 hPa heights, sea level pressure, 850 hPa temperature and 1000-500 hPa thickness.The performance of the methods is evaluated using cross-validation and rootmean-squared error as a measure of accuracy.The stepwise screening of gridpoint data is found to be the statistical model that performed the best.Among the predictors, temperature variables yield more accurate results than circulation variables.The best predictor is the combination of 500 hPa heights and 850 hPa temperature.Geographical variations of the specification skill, mainly the differences between the elevated and lowland stations, are also discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
