Table 2.

Model performance metrics for root-mean-square error ($\mathit{RMSE}$), bias ($B$), and correlation coefficient ($r$, p < .001) for timeseries (WQM) and profile (CTD) measurements. Performance metrics were computed using WQM data collected at P5, P5M, and P5E from June–August 2016 and 2017, as well as CTD casts collected at P5 from January 2016 through October 2017.
