Extended Data Fig. 2: Specific characteristics of the studied lakes.

a–c, Histograms of log10[surface area (km2)] (a), log10[average depth (m)] (b) and elevation (m) (c) of the lakes studied. d–g, We also show, for illustration, the global distribution of lake thermal regions (d), their climatological seasonal cycle (e), a map of studied lakes categorized by thermal region (f), and the number of studied lakes (points) as well as the number of lakes globally (information from the Hydrolakes database21) situated within each lake thermal region (line) (g).
