Fig. 2

a Spatial map of \(\frac{{{dLST}}_{{bio}}}{{dLAI}}\) in Northern Hemisphere summer (JJA, June to August) and (b) in Northern Hemisphere winter (December to February). The shaded area indicates the mean snow cover percentage larger than 1%. c Latitudinal means of monthly \(\frac{{{dLST}}_{{bio}}}{{dLAI}}\) for all vegetation, forest, other wooden vegetation, grassland, and cropland. The grids marked with black dots indicate snow coverage that is greater than 1%. Source data are provided with this paper.
