From: Benchmark analysis of forecasted seasonal temperature over different climatic areas
Grid points of the two climate models for the three areas of Italy (north, centre and south) represented by green rectangles; the e-kmf® model grid is shown with orange dots while the CFS-NCEP model grid with blue dots; geographical location of Italian weather stations (68 in total) below 500 m a.s.l. used for observed data of the year 2010 and for computing the climatological mean (1984–2008) in the three reference areas are shown with red dots. The horizontal grid point for both models are on a regular latitude–longitude grid spaced by 1°.
