TABLE 2.

MAE in monthly averaged 2-m temperature (K) and monthly accumulated precipitation (mm month⁻¹) for each run compared to PRISM. Statistics are calculated using only land grid cells within each region. Bold type indicates the run with the lowest MAE, with none used in rows where no single run has the lowest.
