LOCA (version 1, CMIP5) Validation and Verification Plots

Back to main LOCA web site

Here you will find a variety of validation and verification plots for the Localized Constructed Analogue (LOCA) project.

Historical Validation Plots:

• Annual mean precipitation, Tmin, Tmax, and Diurnal Temperataure Range (DTR) compared to observations
• Seasonal mean precipitation, Tmin, Tmax, and Diurnal Temperataure Range (DTR) compared to observations
• Seasonal percentiles of precipitation, Tmin, Tmax, and Diurnal Temperataure Range (DTR) compared to observations
• Seasonal standard deviation of daily precipitation, Tmin, Tmax, and Diurnal Temperataure Range (DTR) compared to observations
• Peak (non-averaged) seasonal maximum values of daily precipitation, Tmin, Tmax, and Diurnal Temperataure Range (DTR) compared to observations
• Average seasonal maximum values of daily precipitation, Tmin, Tmax, and Diurnal Temperataure Range (DTR) compared to observations
• Peak (non-averaged) seasonal minimum values of daily precipitation, Tmin, Tmax, and Diurnal Temperataure Range (DTR) compared to observations
• Length of wet spells above different threholds compared to observations
• Length of runs of Tmax days above different threholds compared to observations
• Length of runs of Tmin days above different threholds compared to observations

Future Climate Change Plots:

• The original model-predicted change in P, Tmin, Tmax, and DTR compared to the downscaled change
