Sensitivity of inferred climate model skill to evaluation decisions: a case study using CMIP5 evapotranspiration

Confrontation of climate models with observationally-based reference datasets is widespread and integral to model development. These comparisons yield skill metrics quantifying the mismatch between simulated and reference values and also involve analyst choices, or meta-parameters, in structuring th...
