Fig. 2. Global trade-offs between mean retention and cooling potential.

Fig. 2

(A) Global map of the sum of mean retention and cooling potential metrics. (B) Latitudinal summaries of mean retention and cooling potential. Shading maps the binned frequencies normalized for 1° latitude bands. Solid lines are medians across the latitudes. (C) Categorized performance of mean retention only >0.5 (RET), mean cooling potential only >0.5 (CP), mean retention and mean cooling potential both >0.5 (RET & CP), or neither mean retention or mean cooling potential >0.5 (None). (D) Latitudinal summaries by categories defined in (C) for large cities (defined as having population > 100,000 in the year 2000 CE). Inset indicates the median value of PET/P and coefficient of variation in daily precipitation (Pcov) for each mapped category. All results shown are for intensive substrates (h = 150 mm)—equivalent results for other substrates are given in Supplementary Figs. 10 and 11.
