Also, no significant correlation was found using a two-factors-at-a-time analysis. However, moderate correlations were observed for some individual peaks: PKsM versus RainM in the first MC run collection (0.6–0.7 range), and PKsM versus PRocM in the second MC run collection (0.45–0.62 range; refer to Table 1 for PRocM). These positive correlations can be explained by the co-occurrence of these factor pairs either as quotients or differences in the model equations. RainM affects the rain rates at the land surface that occur only in the model infiltrability equations after being scaled using
