Diagnostics
Links below provide an overview of system skill for select surface climate fields using common metrics. Verification datasets used are: NOAA-ERSSTv5 for sea surface temperature; CRU-TS4.0 for surface air temperature and precipitation over land. Refer to Yeager et al. (2018) for details.
Anomaly Correlation Coefficient (ACC)
Top row gives raw ACC; middle row gives ACC difference from persistence; bottom row gives ACC difference from LENS.
