Regional comparison (36 regions) of mean estimates of LSR vs LERTRO and LERGOM for land (black dots) and water (light blue) on 2.5° × 2.5° grid during the study period. Top panels: (a) LER intercomparison (linear scales for both axis), (b) LERGOM vs LSR Aeolus intercomparison (logarithmic scales for both axis), (c) LERTRO vs LSR Aeolus intercomparison (logarithmic scales for both axis). Bottom panel: zoom-in plots into the gray rectangle area shown on top panels for (d) LER intercomparison (linear scales for both axis), (e) LERGOM vs LSR Aeolus intercomparison (logarithmic scales for both axis), (f) LERTRO vs LSR (logarithmic scales for both axis). Colored bubbles represent LSR-based clustering of areas covered by snow during the year (purple), arid areas (yellow) and areas with developed vegetation (green).
