Metrics computation
RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) between models and reference datasets
(observations or reanalyses depending on the variable; identified at the top
of the columns).
The RMSE are computed on a 12-month climatological annual cycle
(spatio-temporal variability + mean); they mix the information on the
spatio-temporal correlation and standard-deviation ratio, as well as the
mean bias.
The results are shown in % of the average RMSE obtained for the set of
simulations chosen as reference.
A result of -10 indicates that this error is 10% lower than the average of
the errors of the reference simulations.
Basically these metrics provide an overall view on whether the simulations
are closer to or further of a set of reference simulations (say, the AMIP
simulations, an AR4 simulation...)
Metrics with respect to forced-by-SST AMIP multi model
Metrics with respect to coupled CMIP5 simulations (historical)
Metrics with respect to IPSLCM5A-LR (clim A verifier)
