The Anomaly Correlation Coefficient is the spacial correlation between the forecast anomaly and the verifying analysis anomaly where the anomalies are computed with respect to a model climate (M-climate, ER-M-climate, S-M-climate).  Plots show the lead-time that ACC falls to a given skill threshold.

...

The score is based on the evaluation of re-forecasts against SYNOP observations.  Discrete Ranked Probability Skill Score (RPSS) is the deviation of the forecast values placed within a category against corresponding observations that actually lie within that category (e.g. tercile, quintile, etc.) when compared with model climate (M-climate).  The words "discrete" and "ranked"  refer to the discrete nature of the ranks or categories.
