Extended Data Fig. 3: Ratio of vertical to horizontal movement for 3D within-canopy climate velocity vectors.
From: Microclimates slow and alter the direction of climate velocities in tropical forests
The y-axis represents relative height in the canopy, and the x-axis represents the natural log of the vertical distance divided by the horizontal distance of movement for maximum temperature of the warmest month and minimum temperature of the coldest month at 1 km, 100 m, and 20 m spatial resolutions. vertical distance = |z|cos( | θ | |) and horizontal distance = |z|sin( | θ | ); where z = climate velocity and θ = the angle of 3D climate velocity from horizontal, such that 90 represents direct upward movement and −90 represents direct downward movement. Positive values indicate vertical distance greater than horizontal distance and negative values indicate horizontal distance greater than vertical distance. Sample size (grid cells): ntmax,1km = 1811, ntmax,100m = 184638, ntmax,20m = 4321416, ntmin,1km = 1808, ntmin, 100m = 184629, ntmin,20m = 4321075.
