Gap filling error statistics for daily maximum (Tmax) and minimum (Tmin) temperature for bias, mean absolute error (MAE), and refined index of agreement (dr) for 1981–2020 in two experiments: using all available data and when only a complete period of 10-years (with ≥75% data) is available.
| Experiment | Tmax | Tmin | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of stations | bias (°C) | MAE (°C) | dr | Number of stations | bias (°C) | MAE (°C) | dr | |
| Validation (Available data) | 346 | 0.11 | 0.98 | 0.67 | 342 | 0.1 | 0.98 | 0.63 |
| Cross-validation (10-years data) | 51 | 0.03 | 1.27 | 0.56 | 52 | −0.02 | 1.44 | 0.54 |
