Local and Regional Scale Evaluation of the Integrated Urban Land Model by Comparing with the Common Land Model

Figure 8

(a) Absolute and (b) relative monthly mean differences of the ETs between the estimates from the whole layer parameterization scheme used in the IUM and the single-layer soil evaporation scheme used in the CoLM for seven basins. A graduated color scheme for the different basins was used based on the annual ET (areas in red indicate the lowest ET, purple indicates the highest ET).
