Extended Data Fig. 3: Relationship between escape depth and surface heatwave intensity.

(a) Correlation (R2) between the inter-annual variability in the escape depth and the intensity of lake surface heatwaves. (b) The relationship between the average (1980-2022) escape depth, the average intensity of lake surface heatwaves, and the depth of the upper mixed layer in lakes.
