In panels (b), (c), (d) and (f), contour linesmore » show the bias of (precipitation minus evaporation) with solid contours at +1.0 and +2.0 mm day−1, and dashed contours at -1.0 and -2.0 mm day−1. In (a), positive values show BLs and negative values show compensated layers. Panels (c)-(f) use the same color scale as (b). Units are meters.JRE« less
