Note. Note that Obs is observation, Sim is simulation, MAE is mean absolute error, RMSE is root-mean-square error, R is the correlation coefficient between observation and model simulation, daytime is 0600–1800 (LST), and winter is November–April. Equations for the statistic parameters are shown in equations (S1S4). LST = local standard time.
