<p>Dear Beata,</p>
<p>I haven't gone through your results in detail but what I
understood from your description of the problem, in my humble
opinion, the results of taylor_stats may not be wrong. The
correlation values just show that your model simulation results
increase and decrease in agreement with / parallel to your data,
i.e. simulation results increase/decrease when there is an
increase/decrease in the data. However, correlation is not a
measure of goodness of fit, a.k.a model skill. Bias shows how much
your model over/underestimates the data. Hence, you may have a
high correlation with a low bias as well as a high correlation
with a high bias.</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
Ekin<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear NCL users,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have doubts with taylor_stats functions.
I created taylor diagrams from five RCMs in eigth sub area and
also created tables about absolute bias of temperature and
precipitation. I attached the diagrams in pdfs and the
resulted bias values in .png. According to the taylor diagrams
the temperature has large correlation (0.9 or larger) whilst
the precipitation has smaller correclation. But the bias is
larger in the case of temperature than in the case of
precipitation. I do not understand why I got inconsistent
results. I attached the sript of taylor diagram
(taylor_ENS.ncl) and the sripts of bias tables (prtaylor2.ncl
and temptaylor2.ncl) and the taylor_stats.ncl. Can someone
inform me what I did wrong?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you very much for your response in
advance!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kind regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
