Fig. 7: Displaying the change in cloud fractional cover (CFrC) following potential afforestation with respect to associated estimated changes in components of the surface energy balance.

All pixels at all seasons are combined together and each grid cell represents an average of underlying points. Grey cells contain less than 15 records and thus are considered non-representative. The dataset is separated between records unaffected by snow in (a), (b) and (c) (where Δα ≥ −0.15), and records in which there is a strong change in surface albedo due to snow (Δα < −0.15) in (d). All data except for the changes in CFrC come from⁷⁶.
