Evaluation of CMIP5 Global Climate Models for Simulating Climatological Temperature and Precipitation for Southeast Asia

Table 6

Correlation coefficients (CCs) between observations and model simulations, standard deviations (STDs) normalized by the standard deviation of observations, and root mean squared errors (RMSEs) of average seasonal precipitation for hot (FMA), rainy (MJJASO), and cold (NDJ) seasons for years 1960–1999 of CNRM-CM5-2, 6-GCM-Ensemble, and 40-GCM-Ensemble.

Model	CC			STD			RMSE
	Hot	Rainy	Cold	Hot	Rainy	Cold	Hot	Rainy	Cold
CNRM-CM5-2	0.85	0.73	0.88	1.10	0.95	0.90	46.04	60.44	48.76
6-GCM-Ensemble	0.92	0.84	0.90	1.07	0.75	0.97	37.36	46.61	37.98
40-GCM-Ensemble	0.91	0.81	0.90	1.23	0.74	1.05	47.72	47.25	38.97
