Table 3 presents the coefficients of the linear equations of the dry and the wet edges as well as the correlation coefficient of each corresponding linear fit. As reported in Yang et al. (2008), the temporal variations of these coefficients do not have a specific order. In most cases, however, the slopes of the dry and wet edges have a similar trend, indicating that this scattering space will always be triangular or trapezoidal. In most cases, the value of the correlation coefficient is close to 0.9, which indicates the high accuracy of linear fitting of dry and wet edges.
