2Use of the Portal by Example Crop Yield in Italy
Example To input a crop-yield model, the Joint
Research Center (JRC) needs to obtain seasonal
forecasts of several surface variables maximum
and minimum temperature, mean daily rainfall,
daily global radiation, evapotranspiration..... in
a high-resolution 50kmx50km grid over
Italy. GOAL Daily values for june-august 2006
in a suitable format (e.g., text file, or Excel
file).

4S2D Algorithms Implemented in the Downscaling
Portal
1. Weather-Clustering Analog Method based on
Self-Organizing Maps A generalization of the
analog method which uses a pre-classification of
the reanalysis patterns to obtain weather
classes from where probabilistic forecasts
according to the observed climatolgies within
groups are obtained. The clustering method used
is a self-organizing map (SOM) which provides a
lattice of weather classes which is the support
of the resulting PDF. Clustering methods for
statistical downscaling in short-range weather

and M.A. Rodríguez Monthly Weather Review,
132(9), 2169 - 2183 (2004). Analysis and
downscaling multi-model seasonal forecasts in
Perú using self-organizing maps A.S. Cofiño,
J.M. Gutiérrez, and R. Cano Tellus A, 57,
435-447 (2005).
2. Weather Generator Stochastic generation of
daily precipitation conditioned on predictions of
the probability of a wet day in the season and
daily persistence. The method uses SVD of model
output and observations to obtain ensemble-mean
seasonal means to feed the stochastic model. A
method for statistical downscaling of seasonal
ensemble predictions H. Feddersen and U.
Andersen Tellus A, 57, 398 - 405 (2005).
