Fig. 3: Linear association and Joint return period of flash drought duration and severity.
From: Anthropogenic and atmospheric variability intensifies flash drought episodes in South Asia
a The upper panels show the linear relationship between FD duration and severity for different countries of SA, where the light red line denotes the predicted band at the 95% CI of the sample based on their model relationship. b The joint return period between FD duration and severity for the spring-summer (March-August), is same for the (c) but for the summer season (June–August). The red dots indicate the most severe FD events that occurred during the historical period, 1979-2018. The short-dashed lines denote the JRP (i.e., 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100-year) of the events.
