From: Mechanisms of multiyear variations of Northern Australia wet-season rainfall
(a) Annual cycle of monthly mean rainfall (mm month−1) over Northern Australia (land points north of 26°S) for 1900–2017. The wet season is highlighted with dashed blue box. (b) spatial distribution of coefficient of variability (in %, shaded) and mean rainfall (contour, mm month−1) during the wet-season. (c) Timeseries of wet season rainfall averaged over northern Australia (dashed blue line) and smoothed with a 5-year running mean (red line). The bottom panel has been detrended, with wet (blue) and dry (red) epochs indicated. All figures are based on AWAP rainfall analyses for the 1901–2017 period.
