MJJAS rainfall anomalies (mm/day) during the decaying phase of the 1983,1998 and 2016 strong El Niño events. The monthly spatial rainfall amount data (during the period 1979–2019) were obtained from the ERA5 reanalysis (https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/datasets/reanalysis-era5-single-levels-monthly-means?tab=overview) with a grid resolution of 0.25° × 0.25°. The scale on the right shows the anomaly represented by different colors. The red star indicates Yingpan Cave, and the dark blue circles represent other study sites mentioned in this study, Xiaobailong Cave1, Shuiyuan Cave34 in central-south Yunnan, and Haozhu Cave8 and Dajiuhu peat9 in mid-lower reaches of the Yangtze River Valley. The dash grey lines in upper and lower indicate Yellow River and Yangtze River respectively.
