Fig. 2: Seasonal variations of the potential effects of forests on cloud cover.
From: Contrasting impacts of forests on cloud cover based on satellite observations
Months with the maximum magnitude of ΔCloud for MODIS and MSG during the snow-free season are shown on the global map. MAM is March-April-May, JJA is June-July-August, SON is September-October-November, and DJF is December-January-February. Seasonal variations of ΔCloud are shown in selected regions: a Southeast US (97°W to 75°W, 30°N to 40°N), b Europe (10°E to 30°E, 47°N to 55°N), c Amazon (70°W to 50°W, 16°S to 5°S), and d Central Africa (10°E to 33°E, 7.5°S to 0°) for MODIS and MSG. Months with snow cover are shown as the gray shaded areas in the background. The blue and red shaded areas denote the 95% confidence interval of ΔCloud for MODIS and MSG.
