“…There are few studies in Mexico that have evaluated empirical–statistical ensembles of GCMs at regional scale (e.g., Montero‐Martínez and Pérez‐López, ; Cavazos and Arriaga‐Ramirez, ; Magaña et al ., ; Cook and Seager, ; Torres‐Alavez et al ., ). Few others have used dynamical downscaling (Diro et al ., ; Bukovsky et al ., ; ; Fuentes‐Franco et al ., ; ; Chang et al ., ; Cerezo‐Mota et al ., ) to better understand present climate and its future changes. In Central America and the Caribbean region there are also examples of empirical–statistical (e.g., Hidalgo et al ., ; Jones et al ., ) and dynamical (e.g., Karmalkar et al ., ; Martínez‐Castro et al ., ) downscaling studies.…”
