An artificial neural network technique for downscaling GCM outputs to RCM spatial scale

An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approach is used to downscale ECHAM5 GCM temperature (<i>T</i>) and rainfall (<i>R</i>) fields to RegCM3 regional model scale over Europe. The main inputs to the neural network were the ECHAM5 fields and topog...
