Precipitation statistics for each product by region. Top row: bar charts show mean precipitation (2007–2010) within region by product, organized as reanalyses (left 3 bars) and observations (right bars). The red solid bar shows the mean ±1 standard deviation of the reanalysis product means, the dashed black bar shows the mean ±1 standard deviation of the observational series GPCP, CMAP and CloudSat, and the solid black bar is the same excluding CMAP. Bottom row: Taylor diagrams of the same regions, product symbols shown in legend (far right) and the reference (black star) is the mean of the reanalyses plus the geographically complete observations GPCP and CloudSat. Regions are, from left to right: the entire NH (55–80°N), NH oceans (55–80°N), NH land (55–80°N), and Greenland.
