Regional Climate Variability Responses to Future Land Surface Forcing in the Brazilian Amazon
Figure 3
(a) and (b) show the yearly-averaged deviations of surface temperature (a) and precipitation (b) in the year 2100 (deforestation minus control). The surface temperature is contoured at a 0.1°C interval, and the precipitation is contoured at a 5 mm interval. (c) and (d) are zonally averaged surface temperature (c) and precipitation (d) differences (deforestation minus control). Green line indicates the north region between 2°N and 2°S of the Brazilian Amazon, red line is the central region between 2°S and 8°S, blue line is the south region between 8°S and 12°S, and the dash lines are averages of zonally surface temperature and precipitation.
