Histogram of error and correlation

Left panel shows the histogram of error between DLR-TOMO and DMSP Ne measurements.

y-axis is related to number of occurrences of a specific error value.

x-axis is the Ne error.

The mean error (µ) and standard deviation of the error (σ) are shown in the top-right side of the plot.

Right panel shows the correlation (r) of the Ne measurements and DLR-TOMO values.
