Trends detection for evapotranspiration (ET) compared to (a for the multivariate assimilation i.e., MVDA and b for the open loop i.e., OL) the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS, MOD16⁶³) and (c for MVDA and d for OL) the Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM⁶⁴), runoff compared to the global runoff data provided by (Ghiggi et al.⁶⁵) (e for MVDA and f for OL), groundwater storage compared to measurements (g for MVDA and h for OL), and streamflow compared to measurements (i for MVDA and j for OL). “Negative Hit” are locations where both remotely sensed and simulated values have negative trends, in “Negative Miss” observations have negative trends and simulations positive, in “Positive Hit” both remotely sensed and simulated values have negative trends, and in “Positive Miss” observations have positive trends and simulations negative.
