<p>RMSE mean (plus standard deviation) assessed at short time scale (i.e. τ = 1), RMSE<sub>τ = 1</sub> (a,d,g), at medium time scales (i.e. τ = 2–4), RMSE<sub>τ = 2–4</sub> (b,e,h), and at long time scales (i.e. τ = 5–12), RMSE<sub>τ = 5–12</sub>, (c,f,i) is shown as a function of the time series (i.e. HP and QT). RMSE<sub>τ = 1</sub>, RMSE<sub>τ = 2–4</sub>, and RMSE<sub>τ = 5–12</sub> were obtained by pooling RMSE values computed BBoff during DAY (a,b,c), BBoff during NIGHT in (d,e,f), and BBon during DAY (g,h,i), The symbols § and ° indicate a significant difference with p<0.001 and p<0.05 respectively.</p
