Fig. 2: Sensitivity of snowmelt flood timing to warming.
From: Warming leads to both earlier and later snowmelt floods over the past 70 years
a | Histogram illustrating the sensitivity of snowmelt flood timing (tsf) to warming in annual mean air temperature across 2339 catchments. b | Spatial distribution of tsf sensitivity to warming in annual mean air temperature across 2339 catchments. c | Histogram of tsf sensitivity to warming during snow accumulation period across 2339 catchments. d | Histogram of tsf sensitivity to warming during snowmelt period across 2339 catchments. In (a, c, and d), the vertical dashed lines represent the mean sensitivities. The box plots within (a, c, and d) show the relationship between trends in tsf and trends in temperature across these catchments. Whiskers represent the 1st and 99th percentile, with the top and bottom of each box indicating the 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively. The horizontal line inside each box represents the median, while black dots indicate the mean. The dashed lines indicate the best linear fit across all individual catchments.
