The performance and interpretability of \nthree models were evaluated. The models included a non-hierarchical \nbaseline model with spatially constant coefficients and model error \nvariance, and two hierarchical models with regionally varying coefficients\nand model error variances, as described in the journal article \n(see Table 2; https://doi.org/10.1029/2019WR025037).
