Table depicts mean bias. Bias refers to climatological GSOD minus CHC-CMIP6 versus GSOD minus raw CMIP6 for the local hottest month. CHC-CMIP6 and raw CMIP6 biases are significantly different from each other (Mann-Whitney p-value < 0.01). Global averaged climatological Tmax is similar for GSOD and CHC-CMIP6 (0.08 °C difference), yet CMIP6 T_max presents a cool bias (1.59 °C), while less present for T_min. This indicates that the projected CHC-CMIP6 fields likely contain a cool bias.
