Taylor Diagrams were developed by Karl Taylor at PCMDI (paper|tech note) and aim to condense information about variance and RMSE characteristics of a particular model run when compared with observations in a single diagram. The tables summarize the individual metrics for each variable considered including:

• bias, as absolute percentage difference from observations
• variance, as a ratio of the observed variance
• correlation, correlation coefficient with observations
