Initialized Decadal Predictions by LASG/IAP Climate System Model FGOALS-s2: Evaluations of Strengths and Weaknesses

Figure 1

Forecast qualities of near-surface air temperature. (a) RMSSS (multiplied by 100) of the ensemble mean of the INIT runs for predictions averaged over the hindcast years 2–5. The white dots represent that the skill scores at these points are statistically significant at the 15% level based on the one-sided test. (b) Ratio of RMSE between the ensemble mean of the INIT runs and that of the NoINIT runs for predictions averaged over the hindcast years 2–5. ((c), (d)) The same as (a) and (b) but for the years 6–9.
