Fig. 5: Precipitation anomalies during 2019 and 2020.
From: Sea level rise from West Antarctic mass loss significantly modified by large snowfall anomalies
a Winter (JJA) 1980–2008 climatology of monthly RACMO2.3p2 precipitation, and precipitation anomalies during b 2019 and c 2020. d Time-series of precipitation and timing of identified atmospheric rivers (black triangles) and extreme precipitation events (blue triangles) in 2019 and 2020. e JJA 1980–2008 climatology of daily ERA5 surface air pressure, and anomalies during f 2019 and g 2020, with ERA5 wind direction anomalies overlain (black arrows). h–j Count of cataloged atmospheric rivers during the winters of h 2000–2018, a period with few landfalling atmospheric rivers, i 2019, and j 2020. The coastline and major drainage basins are also shown100, 101 (black lines).
