- For the first three regions, the values from Nabat et al. (2012) are indicated (RegCM-4) and for the fourth region, the values from Papadimas et al. (2012) are indicated (calculations from MODIS using a radiative transfer model). Seasonal averages (DJF / MAM / JJA / SON) are indicated on the right column of each cell for the same regions and parameters. The confidence interval for the CNRM-RCSM4 values at the level 0.05 is ±0.0 Wm−2 for all the regions and parameters (calculated from the ensemble spread). An estimation of interannual variability has been indicated for the Mediterranean basin (right-most column)
