The quantification of biases in surface temperature prediction of the Climate Forecast System version 2(CFSv2) model is characterized over India in general and over North West region of India in particular, during winter months (i.e. December-January-February [DJF]). Statistical analyses such as time series, temperature biases, percentage departure, root mean square error, etc. are carried out to know the bias characteristics of CFSv2 and CFSR.
