Fig. 4From: Modeling large-scale human alteration of land surface hydrology and climateChanges in grid-averaged annual mean land surface skin temperature due to irrigation (a); June–August (JJA) average over the continental US (b); and March–May (MAM) mean over the Indian sub-continent and central Asia including the Aral Sea region (c). Results shown are the differences between NAT-Offline and HI-Offline simulations. While color represents ocean or land without irrigated areas. The black star in (c) locates the Aral SeaBack to article page
