Fig. 5: Contribution of thermodynamic versus dynamic components to extreme precipitation sensitivity (EPS) anomalies and the peak-point temperature (Tpp) changes between the reference and future periods.
From: Large anomalies in future extreme precipitation sensitivity driven by atmospheric dynamics
a, d EPS anomalies (i.e., relative to the reference period) before (<Tpp) and after Tpp (>Tpp), respectively. b, e Thermodynamic contribution to EPS anomalies before and after Tpp. c, f Dynamic contribution to EPS anomalies before and after Tpp. g, h The dominant factor (showing the greatest contribution among DY, pPR, pT and pLR components) contributing to EPS anomalies before and after Tpp. The monotonically increasing and decreasing regimes (without an additional decreasing branch) are masked in grey in (d–f, h). i Tpp changes projected by CMIP6 multi-model ensemble mean. Tpp changes are only presented in the hook-like regime spanning both reference and future periods. Otherwise, in locations corresponding to the monotonically increasing and decreasing regimes, the changing behaviors are masked in grey.
