Table 2 depicts the median Spearman’s correlation coefficient (Cor) and the mean absolute error (MAE) for daily data by continent during the hottest 3-month period. All correlations are significant (p-value < 0.01). The CHC-CMIP6 observational products perform well for each of the five variables globally as well as regionally. The spatial distribution of correlations may be seen in the SI.
