“…Alternatives have been proposed, such as the index of agreement (d), which can be interpreted as the relative prediction error (Willmott, 1981;Willmott & Wicks, 1980). Ever since, it has been popular in a variety of fields such as hydrology (Legates & McCabe, 1999;López-Moreno, Latron, & Lehmann, 2010), agriculture (Nendel et al, 2013), neurology (Ganpule et al, 2017), meteorology (Aschonitis et al, 2017;Morsy, El-Sayed, & Ouda, 2016), forest ecology (Ibrom et al, 2007;Ward, Bell, Clark, & Ram, 2013), or climate change (Bring & Destouni, 2014;Gaitan, Hsieh, & Cannon, 2014;Oyler, Ballantyne, Jencso, Sweet, & Running, 2015). The use of Willmott's d in remote sensing literature has, however, been marginal (Almeida et al, 2016;García et al, 2010;Grzegozewski, Johann, Uribe-Opazo, Mercante, & Coutinho, 2016;Wachholz de Souza, Mercante, Johann, Camargo Lamparelli, & Uribe-Opazo, 2015;Yebra & Chuvieco, 2009).…”
