Empirical-statistical Downscaling

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.
