From: Dry-Season Snow Cover Losses in the Andes (18°–40°S) driven by Changes in Large-Scale Climate Modes
Time series of annual mean of the dry-season (JFM) snow cover extent (red line) and annual mean of the dry-season (JFM) daily precipitation (blue line). These data were averaged over the Andean mid-latitudes (34°S–40°). El Niño years were excluded and snow cover data were not available for 2012 and 2013. The correlation coefficient (R) is shown in the upper right corner. Precipitation data were obtained from the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) Version 2.2 Combined Data Set69. The plot was generated by using PYTHON’s Matplotlib Library68.
