“…The third‐sixth terms represent the difference between R , EF S , EF C , and c g estimations and their prior values, respectively. In the six study sites, values of 0.01, 0.7, 0.7, and 0.01 are used as the initial guess for C HN , EF S , EF C , and c g , respectively (Abdolghafoorian & Farhadi, 2020; Bateni et al., 2014; Xu et al., 2014). The VDA obtains the optimal magnitudes of C HN , EF S , EF C , and c g by minimizing the difference between the LST and LAI estimates and their corresponding observations.…”
