Extended Data Figure 5: The SWA sensitivity curve for each model.
From: An observational radiative constraint on hydrologic cycle intensification
Shown are normalized bin-mean SWA versus PW and corresponding linear fit (as in Fig. 3a) for each model (black dots/line); models are sorted from (top left) smallest dSWA/dPW ((% kg−1 m2), printed on every panel) to (bottom right) largest dSWA/dPW. Dashed lines depict the 10th–90th percentile spread of SWA within each PW bin, demonstrating the tight constraint PW places on SWA. Numbers next to model names are those from Extended Data Table 1. On every panel, the SWA versus PW curve and linear fit based on CERES-EBAF fluxes and SSM/I water vapour are also shown (blue triangles/line); the 10th–90th percentile spread is shown only on the second panel for visual clarity.
