is the final value of cost function and J1 is the initial value of cost function. K1 is the MAGEs between simulated values and “observations” in “assimilated cities”. K2 is the MAGEs between simulated values and “observations” in “checked cities. K3 and K4 are the MAGEs and MNGEs between prescribed and inverted IC, respectively.
