High-Resolution Climate Simulations in the Tropics with Complex Terrain Employing the CESM/WRF Model

Table 1

RMSEs, MEs (E[observations − simulations]), and CCs of simulations and observations for CESM and CESM/WRF-simulated annual average temperature (°C) for 20 y evaluated using the average of CRU, UD, and ERA for land only, sea only, and both land and sea, where CESM/WRF is at 50 km resolution.

Metric	CESM			CESM/WRF
