Fig. 5: Irrigation-induced changes in thermodynamic variables in the late afternoon (1500–1800 LT).

a Difference between irrigation-induced change in LCL and changes in PBL height. Positive values indicate a higher probability of LCL crossing and more low-level clouds, b irrigation-induced change in CAPE, c irrigation-induced change in CIN. Regions with statistically significant changes at the 10% level are indicated with striping.
