Characteristics of temperature bias and precipitation bias. a Scatter plot of the summertime temperature bias and precipitation bias over the central U.S. from 19 CMIP5 historical simulations during the reference period 1979–2005. Solid dot indicates the multi-model mean while horizontal and vertical colored lines indicate one standard deviation The red dash line indicates the least-square linear fit among the models. The solid (dash) circle contains the models selected as good (bad) group. b Seasonal evolution of temperature and precipitation biases for the good group. c Same as b but for the bad group. The blue lines in b, c use the left y-axes, indicating precipitation, while the red lines use the right y-axes, indicating temperature. Shaded regions in b, c indicate one standard deviation
