Besides, example plots covering the range of the MSE are created for visualization. Note that the `exp_id` is inferred from the chosen experiment when running `generate_runscript.py`.
+Furthermore, the climatology reference data for calculating the anamoly correlation coefficient is expected to be placed under `<my_target_dir>`.
