Relationship between temperature changes and temperature bias. The relationships between temperature changes (2080–2099 relative to 1981–2000) and temperature bias for the three RCP scenarios. RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5 are represented by blue, black, and red symbols. Dash lines indicate the linear fit to each scenario excluding model 9. Numbers with circle represent the correspondent models. The regression equations for the three RCP scenarios are: \({\rm{\delta }}T = 0.27{T_{{\rm{bias}}}} + 1.20\left( {{r^2} = 0.54;\,P < 0.01} \right)\), \({\rm{\delta }}T = 0.31{T_{{\rm{bias}}}} + 2.43\left( {{r^2} = 0.40;\,P < 0.01} \right)\), and \({\rm{\delta }}T = 0.41{T_{{\rm{bias}}}} + 5.16\left( {{r^2} = 0.44;\,P < 0.01} \right)\), for RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5 respectively
