Fig. 5: Composite soil moisture anomalies during SY and MY La Niñas in AGCM experiments.
From: Amplified impacts of multi-year La Niñas on soil moisture compared to single-year La Niñas
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 2200-year Pre-Industrial simulation. (d–f), (g–i), (j–l), and (m–o) mirror (a–c) but for the AGCM-All experiments, AGCM-IO experiments, AGCM-PO experiments, and AGCM-AO experiments, respectively. p Averaged soil moisture anomalies (units: kg/m²) across four key regions during SY La Niñas in the Pre-Industrial (black bars), AGCM-All experiments (red bars), AGCM-IO experiments (green bars), AGCM-PO experiments (blue bars), and AGCM-AO experiments (purple bars). (q) and (r) replicate (p) but for the first and second DJFs of MY La Niñas, respectively. Hatchings in (a–c) indicate areas where the values exceed the 95% confidence interval, determined using a two-tailed Student’s t-test.
