Figure 9
Annual minimum temperatures since 1980 at sample stations, compared to climatology and trend hindcasts (see Section 2 for details on the hindcast procedures): (a) Miami, Florida (N, W), (b) Bismarck, North Dakota (N, W). Station-specific climatology/trend RMSE, MAE, and bias (K) were (a) 2.89/2.89, 2.42/2.42, −0.63/+0.40; (b) 4.95/4.85, 4.02/3.99, −1.48/−0.10.
