This data is public and citable (DOI: 10.5285/2dfce039-cd71-43b3-bed4-98978e78f1bb). It was constructed using the predictive capabilities of Time-Delayed Neural Networks (TDNN) method. Thirty years of monthly averages of current climate data (1971-2000) of the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis dataset were used to train the TDNNs, which were then validated on the next 10 years (2001-2010). Once validated, the downscaling model was fed with the higher resolution CRU TS3.1 data and SRTM-1km elevation data (thereby obtaining the higher resolution dataset).
