Sensitivity of WRF-Simulated 2 m Temperature and Precipitation to Physics Options over the Loess Plateau

Figure 11

Taylor diagrams of area-averaged WRF simulation and ERA-Interim data with respect to observed precipitation in the year 2015 (full names of the individual experiment are given in Table 2) for (a) DJF (December–February), (b) MAM (March–May), (c) JJA (June–August), and (d) SON (September–November). Calculations are applied to present the temporal variability of daily precipitation. (Three statistics determine the relative places of the models: the Pearson’s correlation coefficient (curved axes), the centered RMS error (gray contours), and the standard deviation (Oy-axis). The model fitting best with observations will lie the nearest to the Ox-axis.
