Fig 3. Global hotspots of temporal cloud cover constancy.

Fig 3

A. Geographic locations of minima in cloud dynamics using colors defined in C–E. B. Inset showing detail (red square in A) over East African Biodiversity Hotspots. C–E. Scatterplot of pixels in A and B, which serves as a color key to the map. Colored pixels indicate locations in the top 10% quantile of mean annual cloud frequency (see D and E) and bottom 10% quantile of intra-annual cloud variability (blues), inter-annual cloud variability (reds), or both (greens). Lines in scatterplot indicate the 10th (and 90th for mean annual) percentiles.
