Comparison of simulated and observed climatic variable

Prediction of station temperature from model values

  1. Plot the histogram of the daily accumulated precipitation bias between the large scale model and the observed values at the meteorological station. The model is mostly overestimating or underestimating the precipitation?

    1. Model data -> modeldata.csv
    2. observation data -> observation.txt
  2. Make a scatter plot of the simulated minimum (in blue) and maximum (in red) temperature in function of the observed temperature. From visual interpretation, the large scale model have better skill to predict minimum or maximum temperature?

  3. Perform a linear regression between the simulated and observed minimum temperature.

    1. Use the first 80% of the dataset as a training set and keep the other 20% to validate your model.
    2. Validate your model with the test dataset, what is the RMSE of your model?
