predictand

Here the predictand is the cause rather than the effect.

Statistical downscaling consists of identifying empirical links between large-scale patterns of climate elements (predictors) and local climate (the predictand), and applying them to output from global or regional models.

Statistical downscaling approach and downscaling of AOGCM climate change projections 2009

The optimal choice of predictors depends upon the predictand.

Tree-ring based reconstructions are “at the mercy” of the instrumental data and if there are problems with the predictand data, then it will affect our calibrations.

In this climate simulation we have perfect knowledge of the predictand at all times.

The predictand solution vector z=j, contains the least-squares optimal values of each of the Neofs PCs for a given year.

Hi Steve, the Icefields reconstruction, constituent chronologies STD and RCS and predictand temperature record have been archived at the NOAA data-centre.

This would avoid the problem that in original model the global SSTs, as predictor, already includes the predictand in itself, and also part of the aerosol forcing.

It is noteworthy that, unlike conventional palaeoclimate transfer function approaches, there is no specific relationship between a given proxy indicator and a given predictand that is, reconstructed PC.
