World Scientific Publishing / Imperial College Press is pleased to
announce a new title in Climatology, "Empirical-Statistical
Downscaling," released on 9 October 2008.
Empirical-Satistical 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; it is anticipated that ESD will become more important and
commonplace in the future, as anthropogenic global warming proceeds.
This text, intended for graduate students, academics, and researchers in
the fields of climatology, geology, and hydrology is important for the
future of ESD.
The book includes:
- Downscaling Strategies;
- Predictors and Preprocessing;
- Linear Techniques;
- Nonlinear Techniques;
- Predictions and Diagnostics;
- Shortcomings and Limitations;
- Reducing Uncertainties;
- Downscaling Extremes and PDFs;
- Weather Generator; and
- Implementing ESD.
