  abstract = {{I}n the present study the role of soil moisture ({SM}) in a statistical downscaling framework for precipitation in the {E}uro-{M}editerranean domain is assessed. {D}ifferent settings of the statistical downscaling models, differing in terms of the predictor variables used, are compared to quantify the influence of {SM} on the downscaling results. {R}esults indicate an improvement of the skill of the statistical models when using {SM} information. {T}his improvement is only moderate when averaged over the whole {E}uro-{M}editerranean domain, but for specific regions the gain in performance is substantial. {R}egional projections of precipitation under the {RCP}4.5 and {RCP}8.5 scenario are considerably modified when {SM} is used as additional predictor in comparison with results based on atmospheric predictors alone.},
