Short summary
We have developed a new metric for climate model evaluation that quantifies the significance of modeling errors across multiple fields. Our approach dramatically reduces the amount of data that is required to evaluate field and space dependencies and increases the community's potential to make use of the extremely valuable but limited satellite observational record. Our objective is to improve the strategies that currently exist for more formal data-driven model development.
