In section 6.5 we present uncertainties measured as statistics of actual deviations from observations (also known as verification statistics). Note that observations are a reference not identical to the actual truth, as they also will have uncertainties as well as representativeness issues. This verification statistics is provided for a set of near-surface quantities which are covered by the meteorological observation network, including 2m temperature, 10m winds and precipitation.
