Segmented and modulated (to preserve total volume) normalized GM images were smoothed with a Gaussian kernel of 8 mm full-width half-maximum to accommodate residual spatial variability after normalization.
Model predictions of the most important discrete and continuous processes were found to agree to the experimental data with a maximum difference less than the observed spatial variability or at best with the accuracy level as set by the measurement instruments.
Maximum surface temperatures generally had slightly more spatial variability than minimum surface temperatures, resulting in R2 values of 0.86, 0.77, 0.72, and 0.79 for north-facing, south-facing, valley, and ridgeline topographic settings.
ENSO is realistically simulated in terms of spatial variability pattern although the maximum variance is smaller than observed [24, 25]. Figure 5b shows the time series of Nino3 area averaged SST anomaly.

The spatial variability in rainfall amount, average and maximum rainfall intensity and the isotopic composition of rainfall was different for each event.
The maximum and minimum values were used to illustrate the spatial variability of Rn and its contribution to the EBC.
We found that 50% of the spatial variability in greendown was explained by landscape variables, with greendown particularly higher in locations with higher maximum greenness, more southerly aspects, or locations with greater abundance of white oak (Quercus alba).
The potential interaction between the spatial variability in soil moisture conditions and the maximum soil moisture capacity has the most significant effect on the performance of streamflow predictions.
The intra-farm spatial variability of wind speed has a diurnal cycle with that reaches its maximum in the nighttime and its minimum around midday.
