Summer mean surface albedo in (a) the CROP and (b) the URB experiments. The 2-meter summer mean air temperature (unit: °C) difference is shown in (c) between the URB and CROP experiments, and (d) between the URB-AH and URB experiments. The summer mean precipitation rate (unit: mm h-1) difference is shown in (e) between the URB and CROP experiments, and (f) between the URB-AH and URB experiments. CROP represents the no-urbanization experiment, URB represents the urbanization experiment, and URB-AH represents the urbanization experiment with added anthropogenic heat emissions.
