Table 6. Goodness-of-fit temperature statistics for the UnTRIM model of Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, 2005.

[Errors are calculated hourly as observed value-simulated value. Site modifier: -L indicates monitor 1 meter from the bottom, -U indicates monitor 1 meter from the surface. Site names in boldface type indicate that temperature was measured at the site during both 2005 and 2006. Mean and Root Mean Square Error: VW indicates model run using spatially variable wind forcing; UW indicates model run using spatially uniform wind forcing as observed at the site indicated (MDN or MDL). Overall mean was calculated based on sites in boldface type only. Abbreviations: °C, degrees Celsius]
