Naming convention of experiments

Control Baseline urban extent
A2 ICLUS Maximum urban expansion
B1 ICLUS Minimum urban expansion
A2 green roofs As A2 ICLUS with green roofs
A2 cool roofs As A2 ICLUS with cool roofs
A2 green–albedo As A2 ICLUS with hybrid roofs

All experiments were repeated three times (i.e., three ensemble members), with variable spin-up time using 2001–2008 climate. SI Appendix, Tables S1 and S2 shows additional details on experiments. A2 cool roofs, the same as A2 ICLUS experiments but with the incorporation of cool roofs for all urban areas; A2 green–albedo, the same as A2 ICLUS experiments but with the incorporation of reflective green roofs for all urban areas; A2 green roofs, the same as A2 ICLUS experiments but with the incorporation of green roofs for all urban areas; A2 ICLUS, experiments using projected A2 ICLUS urban representation for year 2100; B1 ICLUS, experiments using projected B1 ICLUS urban representation for year 2100; control, control experiments using ICLUS urban representation for year 2000.
