(a) Taylor metric for summer monsoon mean precipitation for the DCPP models (listed in Table S1). Different markers in alphabets (numerics) are for before (after) DBC with lead 1 to 10 years. The Correlation, normalized standard deviation, and normalized root mean square error are presented in blue, black and red lines respectively. Marker in black color for IMD (observations). (b) Difference (%) in the magnitude of JJAS [(hindcast-observation)/observation] *100 mean precipitation and its associated mean square error. Statistics before DBC lies on vertical grid lines. Statistics after DBC represented right of the vertical grid lines. (c) Improvement (in %) of seasonal mean rainfall over Indian summer monsoon region after DBC.
