| 4 | The ERAInterim-ESD dataset is formed by a reduced number of predictors (both at surface and at pressure levels) commonly used for Emphirical-Sstatistical Downscaling (ESD). This information has been prepared by the [http://www.meteo.unican.es Santander Meteorology Group] as part of the work done in the [http://www.meteo.unican.es/downscaling statistical downscaling portal], and is distributed in the framework of different international initiatives (such as CORDEX-ESD and VALUE) in order to have a standard predictor dataset and to facilitate the work of the contributing downscaling groups. This information has been downloaded from the ECMWF's MARS, degraded to a common 2 degrees grid and post-processed computing daily means based on the original 6 hourly fields when required. |

| 6 | Therefore, this dataset is a degraded and subset of the original ERA-Interim reanalysis dataset, which is freely available via [http://www.ecmwf.int/en/research/climate-reanalysis/era-interim ECMWF servers] at original resolution. |

| 8 | This list will be extended in the future, based on the feedback and requests received from VALUE and CORDEX-ESD members. |
