Table ES‐2 defines <strong>the</strong> twelve ATMES‐II spatial <strong>and</strong> global statistical metrics used in this study,<br />

some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> temporal statistics were also calculated but not reported. The RANK model<br />

performance statistic is designed to provide an overall score <strong>of</strong> model performance by<br />

combining performance metrics <strong>of</strong> correlation/scatter (R 2 ), bias (FB), spatial (FMS) <strong>and</strong><br />

cumulative distribution (KS). Its use as an overall indication <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rankings <strong>of</strong> model<br />

performance for different models was evaluated <strong>and</strong> found that it usually was a good<br />

indication, but <strong>the</strong>re were some cases where it could lead to misleading results <strong>and</strong> is not a<br />

substitute for examining all performance attributes.<br />
