Fig. 4: Changes in surface air temperature due to changes in anthropogenic emissions of aerosols and precursors.

Spatial distributions of total (a–c), fast (d–f) and slow (g–i) responses in annual mean surface air temperature (°C) to changes in global (a, d and g), domestic (b, e and h) and foreign (c, f and i) anthropogenic emissions of aerosols and precursors during 2013–2019. The shaded areas indicate results are statistically significant at the 90% confidence level. Regional averages of the responses over China are noted at the upper-right corner of each panel.
