Fig. 5: Relationships between climatic variables and supraglacial lake volumes on the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.
From: Large interannual variability in supraglacial lakes around East Antarctica

Scatter plots of mean December-January-February (DJF) 2-m temperature (T2m) (a–d) mean snowfall in the preceding winter (February to December) (e–h) and mean DJF net surface solar radiation (Srad) (i–l) from ice shelf grounding zones simulated by ERA5 reanalysis (see Methods) and maximum total SGL volume grouped by major EAIS region. Individual ice shelves are represented by different colours (see Fig. 1 for locations). Significant relationships (p < 0.05) in a linear regression are displayed.
