Figure S3 Response of latent heat flux to inter-product diffuse
fraction spread. Associations between latent heat flux and diffuse
fraction (k d) across different land model
simulations forced using k d from the six products
(NCEP/NCAR, NOAA-CIRES-DOE, ERA5, MERRA-2, CERES, and CAM) considered in
the present study for (a) arid climate, (b) temperate climate, (c)
boreal climate, and (d) polar climate. The lines of best fit and the
linear regression equations, with coefficient of
determination r 2 and p-values are noted. For
temperate climate, (a) logarithmic fit and the associated equation is
also noted (in red). The vertical error bars show the inter-annual
standard error for the 10-year period.
