Spatial patterns of the RD-RU DCIN in a June, b July, c August, d September and e October. Black hatchings indicate regions with significant DCIN differences at the 5% level based on a two-sided Student’s t-test. In (a), the blue boxes delineate the boundaries for Western Ghats (left box), south-central-east India (right upper box), and Tamil Nadu (right lower box) (only the lands within the boundaries are assigned to the individual regions). f–j Zonal (70–87.5°E) averaged daily (from May 1st to October 31st) f precipitation, g net (downward minus upward; positive signs indicate from atmosphere to surface) shortwave radiation flux at surface, h surface air temperature, i surface specific humidity, and j latent heat flux (positive signs indicate from surface to atmosphere) responses in RD-RU from CESM1 28 ensemble simulation averages. Black dots indicate regions with significant differences at the 5% level based on a two-sided Student’s t-test. k Climatology of zonal (70–87.5°E) averaged daily (from May 1st to October 31st) precipitation in CESM1 present-day simulation (Methods).
