Fig. 3: Contributions of background climate change (BCC), urbanization (URB), and landscape greening (LSG) to observed urban surface warming trends (OBS).

From: Surface warming in global cities is substantially more rapid than in rural background areas

Fig. 3

Mean contributions across the globe (a), mean contributions by city size (b), and mean contributions by continent (c). Error bars are ±1 S.D. Note that “Others” represents the residual component that cannot be explained by these three selected parameters. Note that the error bars represent 10%~90% percentiles.
