Figure S9 Response of sensible heat flux from ground to
inter-product diffuse fraction spread. Associations between sensible
heat flux from ground and diffuse fraction (k d)
across different land model simulations forced usingk d from the six products (NCEP/NCAR,
NOAA-CIRES-DOE, ERA5, MERRA-2, CERES, and CAM) considered in the present
study for (a) all terrestrial surfaces, (b) tropical climate, (c) arid
climate, (d) temperate climate, (e) boreal climate, and (f) polar
climate. The lines of best fit and the linear regression equations, with
coefficient of determination r 2 and p-values
are noted. The vertical error bars show the inter-annual standard error
for the 10-year period.
