Spanish term or phrase: predictor-predictando
I have an academic paper on the effect of climate change on hydropower generation. SDSM is a statistical downscaling model.

Thanks in advance.

El SDSM permite la reducción espacial de las relaciones predictor-predictando utilizando técnicas de regresión lineal múltiples. Las variables de predicción diaria proporcionan información relativa a al estado de la atmósfera a gran escala, mientras que el predictando describe las condiciones en el sitio a pequeña escala. El software facilita la tarea de reducción en un número discreto de procesos:
Primero se identifican las variables predictoras a gran escala que presenten una correlación significativa con los datos observados de la estación (predictandos).

(relationship between the) predictor and the predictand / predictor-predictand


Explanation:
The relationship between the thermodynamic and mechanics stability indexes and the rainfall in the Central
Valley of Costa Rica is obtained. The predictand is constituted by rainfall in the western,central and eastern
part of the valley. Namely, Juan Santamaria International Airport represent the western part, central part is
represented by Tobias Bolaños Airport and in the station located in San José characterizes the eastern part
of the valley. The indexes of Showalter, K, Fog Point, Lift and Totals constitute the predictors. The moist
layer measure as well as wind velocity and direction at 700 and 300 mb are also employed. The relationship
between the predictand and the predictor as studied with linear correlation and the multiple linear
regression method. The most significants results were displayed in the western side of the valley and for
the rain equal or bigger to 20 mm.

RESUMEN
En este trabajo se presentan unos ejemplos concretos de una serie de pronosticos elaborados con
un modelo de prediccion empırica. El modelo se basa en la Descomposicion en Valores Singulares
de la matriz de covarianza cruzada calculada entre dos variables climatologicas: el predictor y el
predictando. El campo predictor esta constituido por las anomalıas de la temperatura de la superfi-
cie del mar en el Atlantico Norte, y el campo predictando son las anomalıas de la temperatura del
aire a 850 hPa sobre el mismo dominio. Los ejemplos que se van a mostrar ilustran los resultados
del modelo y corresponden a dos situaciones extremas: el invierno de 1976 y el verano de 1994. El
modelo de prediccion admite dos variantes: la primera trabaja con campos filtrados y la segunda
con un esquema estacional. El analisis de los ejemplos para ambos casos muestra que el modelo
sı parece reproducir el signo de las anomalıas de temperatura, pero no la amplitud, a no ser que se
trate de valores extremos.
Palabras clave: prediccion, temperatura del aire, filtrado, estacional, estudios de casos.
ABSTRACT
In this work we present some examples among a set of forecasts performed by using an empirical
forecast model. The model is based on the Singular Value Decomposition of the cross-covariance
matrix between two climatic variables: the predictor and the predictand field. As predictor field
we have considered the sea surface temperature anomalies over the North Atlantic basin and
as predictand field the anomalous values of air temperature at 850 hPa over roughly the same
domain. The case studies to be shown correspond to two extreme situations: the winter of 1976
and the summer of 1994. Our forecasts can be carried out following two different schemes: the
former works on filtered fields and the latter works on seasonal fields. The analysis of the case
studies for both procedures show the model can capture successfully the sign of the air temperature
anomalies. However the amplitude of the anomalies is well forecasted as long as they are extreme
values.
Key words: prediction, air temperature, filtering, seasonal, case studies
