A Taylor diagram is a graphical representation used to assess the performance of predictive models by comparing the patterns of variability and correlation between a model's output and observational data. It was introduced by Karl E. Taylor in 2001. In a Taylor diagram, several metrics are plotted in a single diagram: - **Standard deviation**: The radial distance from the origin in the diagram represents the standard deviation of the data, allowing you to compare the variability between different datasets (e.g., model output vs.
