Dou et al. state that the average of the summer and winter Nanjing values is used in spring and autumn and publish the resulting coefficient triplet.

Representativenesssupported
The summer and winter inputs come from one concrete roof measurement site in Nanjing, so the arithmetic mean remains site-specific rather than city-representative.
issue #72
Applicable Scalesupported
Dou et al. publish this as the component-wise mean of summer and winter concrete-roof fits, so it describes a roof facet rather than a complete building land-cover class.
issue #46
Methodsupported
Identitysupported
This spring/autumn arithmetic mean is a distinct derived assertion, not an exact duplicate of either seasonal input record.

Scientific note

The database record adopts the exact spring/autumn tuple published by Dou et al., so its record-level method is literature. Within that publication, the tuple is explicitly the component-wise arithmetic mean of the Wang et al. summer and winter rows: (0.83 + 0.86) / 2 = 0.845; (0.52 + 0.27) / 2 = 0.395; and (-16.95 + -9.64) / 2 = -13.295.
