Abstract This article introduces a self‐organizing map‐based approach for estimating the climatic profile of locations of interest situated within an area of known morphology. The potential of the proposed methodology is illustrated on a number of locations within the Greek territory, and its superiority over other—customarily used as well as novel—climatic profile estimation methodologies is demonstrated and numerically evaluated. It is envisioned that, after further development, the proposed methodology can be employed for creating accurate climatic maps of areas of known morphology. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
