Figure 2. Comparison of the sum of the individual point-source heating signatures to the results from one model run containing all point sources. The difference is caused by (a) interdependence among the point-source heating signatures, and (b) the fact that the heating signatures, because they are defined as 95th percentiles, are not additive unless point-source heating effects are completely synchronized in time.
