In this study, synchronous linkages of the North Sea–Caspian pattern (NCP), associated with large‐scale surface air temperature series selected from National Centers for Environmental Prediction–National Center of Atmospheric Research reanalysis (NCEP‐NCAR) for the region over 50°W–120°E and 0–80°N are investigated via teleconnection patterns based on phase synchronization. Phase synchronization is the process by which two or...

Researchers are aware of certain types of problems that arise when modelling interconnections between general circulation and regional processes, such as prediction of regional, local‐scale climate variables from large‐scale processes, e.g. by means of general circulation model (GCM) outputs. The problem solution is called downscaling. In this paper, a statistical downscaling approach to monthly total precipitation over Turkey...
