Figure 6.
The image presents a grid of forecast maps categorised by leads and seasons, depicting R P S S values. Each cell shows a map with latitude on the vertical axis and longitude on the horizontal axis. The rows represent different seasons, M J J, J J A, J A S, and A S O, followed by forecasts in April, May, June, and July in subsequent rows. The leftmost column features Lead 1, progressing to Lead 4 on the right. The background is light with darker shades indicating higher R P S S values ranging from zero to four tenths. The maps are outlined with a boundary and display variations in shading across regions.RPSS values for forecasts issued April through July, labeled on the right axis, for varying lead times over Nicaragua. The month the forecast is issued is Month 1 (mid-month). Lead 1 = Months 2–4, Lead 2 = Months 3–5, Lead 3 = Months 4–6, Lead 4 = Months 5–7 after the forecast is issued. The forecast seasons are labeled in each panel (e.g. MJJ = “May-July”)
