Equatorial SST zonal RMSE

Description:

Computes the zonal root mean square error (RMSE) of equatorial Pacific climatological (time and meridional average) SST between model and observations.

model regridded toward observational grid (using cdms esmf linear method)

Steps (computation):

• temporal average
• regridding
• meridional average
• RMSE computation

Time frequency:

monthly

Units:

°C
