First letter of the model code: A, assumed response; I, inverse modelling; E, experiments. Second letter of the model code: D, different response within effective temperature range; S, same response within effective temperature range. Third letter of the model code: F, freezing temperature (< 0 °C) is effective; N, freezing temperature is noneffective.
