The spatial dependence of meteorological variables is crucial for many impacts, e.g. droughts, floods, river flows, energy demand, and crop yield. There is thus a need to understand how well it is represented in downscaling products. Within the COST Action VALUE we have conducted a comprehensive analysis of spatial variability in the output of over 40 different downscaling methods in a perfect predictor setup. The downscaling output is evaluated against daily precipitation and temperature observations for the period 1979-2008 at 86 sites across Europe and 53 sites across Germany.
