Fig. 3: Analysis of seasonal and spatial meteorological impacts over lakes.
From: Unique atmospheric boundary layer structures driven by lake effects
Panel I. is Ri value variability across different lake regions and seasons; II is meteorological factor relative contributions to ABLH, in which a Lake Issyk Kul, b Lake Tai, c Lake Victoria, d Caspian Sea, e Nam Co, f Lake Tanganyika; III is SEM based on combined summer and autumn data, red solid arrows indicate statistically significant pathways (p < 0.05); along each path, the unstandardized path coefficient is shown followed by the standardized coefficient in parentheses. Unstandardized coefficients represent the original scale of effect, while standardized coefficients allow comparison across variables with different units; IV is seasonal partial dependence across global climatic zones, the shaded zones represent the 95% confidence interval. Factors considered include Temperature Difference (ΔT), Surface Pressure (P), Wind Speed (WS), Relative Humidity (RH), Latent Heat Flux (LH), and Sensible Heat Flux (SH).
