Fig. 4: Mechanisms of contrasting cloud effects of forests.
From: Contrasting impacts of forests on cloud cover based on satellite observations
a Clouds enhanced over forests through increased convection due to increased moisture supply and turbulence. b Clouds inhibited over forests through suppressed convection due to divergence of mesoscale circulations. ABL atmospheric boundary layer, LCL lifting condensation level, LE latent heat, H sensible heat.
