Extended Data Fig. 9: Percentage of days with a release of heat from soil into the atmosphere in summer.

From: Soil heat extremes can outpace air temperature extremes

Extended Data Fig. 9

a) Percentage of days with daily mean soil temperatures (TSoil) higher than daily mean air temperatures (TAir) during air hot extremes as represented by the multimodel mean of the CMIP6 models under the 1.5 ∘C warming level and its difference with warming levels of 2.0 ∘C and 3.0 ∘C. Air hot extremes are defined based on the TX90p index. Averaged percentage of days with TSoil > TAir over central-western (b) and -eastern (c) Europe (see rectangles in a) from 1990 to 2100 for each model separately.
