Short summary
Statistical downscaling is widely used in large operational centers around the world, using exclusively linear relations (MLR); this study uses a statistical downscaling methodology using a nonlinear technique known as ANNs with CMIP5 project data. The artificial neural network can perform tasks that a linear program cannot. The main advantages of this are its temporal processing ability and its ability to incorporate several preceding predictor values as input without any additional effort.
