Fig. 4: Change in thermal region distribution for three climate scenarios.
From: Global lake thermal regions shift under climate change

a, d, g RCP2.6; b, e, h RCP6.0; c, f, i RCP8.5. a–c show forecast distribution of lake thermal regions (grey represents areas without lakes); d–f show percent of lakes in each thermal region that will change by 2080–2099 compared to the historic period (1985–2005); g–i show lakes that will change thermal region compared to the historic period (black represents areas where no lakes have changed), the different changes in the legend are ordered by decreasing frequency of occurrence. All results, including those from the historic period, are produced using the bias-corrected HadGEM2-ES projections.
