Observed maximum and minimum temperature and precipitation is taken from CRU2.1 data set. NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis-II data is used as a proxy for observed 500 hPa height. Standard deviations are normalized by the observed standard deviation. Validation data are bi-linearly interpolated to the model native grid.
