  1. Parameter \(\mathcal{V}_{+}\) represents percentage of domain volume that has \({\Delta \text{T} \ge }\) 1 \(^\circ \)C.
  2. Parameter \(\mathcal{V}_{-}\) represents percentage of domain volume that has \({\Delta \text{T} \le }\) − 1 \(^\circ \)C. Parameter \(\mathcal{V}_0\) represents percentage of domain volume that has − 1 \(^\circ \)C \(< {\Delta \text{T}} < \) 1 \(^\circ \)C.
