Report on the skill of downscaled seasonal hindcasts

Users of seasonal forecasts usually demand regional to local information, which needs to be derived from coarse resolution global forecasts. Statistical downscaling and bias correction techniques can be used to provide high resolution information, relying on observed data. This deliverable summarizes different applications of these techniques over Europe to provide input for different sectors (flood risk, waterway transport management, hydropower, river flow, etc.) considered in EUPORIAS prototypes and case studies.
