Na is the number of paired samples. COBS and CMOD are the time series of the average of observation and model results. MB is the mean bias between the observation and model results. RMSE is the root-mean-square error of observation and model results. NMB is the normalized mean bias between the observation and model results. NME is the normalized mean error between the observation and model results.
