Fig. 2: Synchronous (0-month lag) and lagged (3, 6 and 9 months) Pearson R correlation between climate teleconnections (CT) and burned area (BA) during the fire season peak from 1982 to 2018.

The maps at 0.5°x 0.5° pixel resolution represent the correlations at P < 0.05 (|R| > = 0.34) and P < 0.10 (|R| > = 0.29) between BA and CTs. The six most important CTs in terms of modulated global BA are presented, namely Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO (lag 0)), Tropical North Atlantic (TNA (lag 0)), Pacific North American (PNA (lag 3)), Western Pacific (WP (lag 6)), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO (lag 9)) and Southern Annular Mode (SAM (lag 9)). See the supplementary materials for other CT modes and lags.
