A Regional Climate Simulation Study Using WRF-ARW Model over Europe and Evaluation for Extreme Temperature Weather Events

Figure 8

Statistical indices for 60-year summer seasonal maximum temperatures at 2 m height (left panel). Right panel is the same as left panel but for minimum temperatures in winter seasons from (a) and (b) for normalized BIAS (%); (c) and (d) for normalized MAE (%); (e) and (f) correlation coefficient and (g) and (h) are for NSTDEV (%) between observations and model.

(a) Normalized BIAS for summer maximum temperatures (OBS versus model)

(b) Normalized BIAS for winter minimum temperatures (OBS versus model)

(c) Normalized MAE for summer maximum temperatures (OBS versus model)

(d) Normalized MAE for winter minimum temperatures (OBS versus model)

(e) Correlation coefficient for summer maximum temperatures (OBS versus model)

(f) Correlation coefficient for winter minimum temperatures (OBS versus model)

(g) NSTDEV for summer maximum temperatures (OBS versus model)

(h) NSTDEV for winter minimum temperatures (OBS versus model)
