                         is evaluated. 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
