Sources of uncertainty and errors are identified. All simulations have been performed in the context of the CLARIS-LPB Project for the period 1990-2008 and are compared with the GEWEX-SRB, CRU, and GLDAS2 dataset and NCEP-NOAA reanalysis. Results showed that most of the models overestimate the net surface short-wave radiation over tropical SA and La Plata Basin and underestimate it over oceanic regions. Errors in the short-wave radiation are mainly associated with uncertainties in the representation of surface albedo and cloud fraction. For the net surface long-wave radiation, model biases are diverse. However, the ensemble mean showed a good agreement with the GEWEX-SRB dataset due to the compensation of individual model biases. Errors in the net surface long-wave radiation can be explained, in a large proportion, by errors in cloud fraction. For some particular models, errors in temperature also contribute to errors in the net long-wave radiation. Analysis of the annual cycle of each component of the energy budget indicates that the RCMs reproduce generally well the main characteristics of the short- and long-wave radiations in terms of timing and amplitude. However, a large spread among models over tropical SA is apparent. The annual cycle of the sensible heat flux showed a strong overestimation in comparison with the reanalysis and GLDAS2 dataset. For the latent heat flux, strong differences between the reanalysis and GLDAS2 are calculated particularly over tropical SA. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. %@area CST %@e-mailaddress marcelo.pazos@inpe.br %@documentstage not transferred %@group %@group %@group %@group %@group CST-CST-INPE-MCTI-GOV-BR %@group %@group %@group %@group CST-CST-SPG-INPE-MCTI-GOV-BR %@dissemination WEBSCI; PORTALCAPES; AGU; COMPENDEX; SCOPUS. %@usergroup administrator %@usergroup marcelo.pazos@inpe.br %@nexthigherunit 8JMKD3MGPCW/3F3T29H %@nexthigherunit 8JMKD3MGPCW/449U4PL %@affiliation Centro Nacional Patagónico (CENPAT/CONICET), Blvrd.
