Notes. The skill scores are colour coded as follows: poor skill score as dark red, mediocre skill score as red, good skill score as orange and excellent skill score as yellow. The best skill score of the atmosphere-only or coupled PRIMAVERA simulation, depending on which scored higher, with respect to in situ data and to ERA5 data is indicated.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
