Fig. 2: Composite soil moisture anomalies and ratios of soil moisture anomalies for SY and MY La Niñas in CESM1.
From: Amplified impacts of multi-year La Niñas on soil moisture compared to single-year La Niñas
Composite soil moisture anomalies for a the DJF of the simulated single-year La Niña, b first (DJF0) and c second DJF (DJF+1) of the simulated MY La Niña in the CESM1 simulation; e, f are the ratios of soil moisture anomalies, calculating by the first DJF and second DJF of MY La Niña divided by the SY La Niña; d is the average of soil moisture ratios in (e) and (f) in four regions: Australia, Sahel, Middle East, and North America. Hatchings in (a–c) indicate areas where the values exceed the 95% confidence interval determined using a two-tailed Student’s t-test.
