Analysis reveals cooling and warming effects in land surface temperature due to biophysical changes, suggesting implications for climate strategies.

Cooling during daytime land surface temperature by 1.28 K was observed at the Three Gorges Reservoir.
Model simulations indicate substantial alterations in the surface energy budget on a regional scale.
Findings suggest a complex interplay between water storage and local climate alterations promoting regional cooling.
The effects of the reservoir extend up to 12 km from the water body, influencing surrounding territories.

Li et al. (2025) studied this question.
