Table 2. Variables in the NHW analysis with the interpretation for the original climate interpretation and the epidemiological counterpart.

Variable Climate Interpretation Epidemiological Interpretation
x i Current temperature mean for modeling assumption i. Mean log-duration under implemented control for modeling assumption i.
y i Future temperature mean for modeling assumption i. Mean log-duration under alternative control for modeling assumption i.
x 0 Observed current temperature. Observed outbreak log-duration.
τ 0 Precision of natural variability. Precision of variability of individual outbreaks given the observed initial conditions. *
μ Current mean temperature. * Mean outbreak duration, implemented control. *
V Future mean temperature. * Mean outbreak duration, alternative control. *
λi Precision of model i (weights). * Precision of model i (weights). *
Β Correlation between current and. future projections. * Correlation between implemented and alternative control projections. *
θ Ratio between precision for current and future projections. * Ratio between precision for implemented and alternative control projections. *
τ i and φ i Not included. Precision of within projection variability, calculated as the precision of individual replicates around the mean values x i and y i.

* Asterisk indicates parameters treated as random variables and no asterisk indicate data.
