Fig. 3: Analysis of long-term observed anomalies from the Budyko curve.
From: Impacts of agriculture and snow dynamics on catchment water balance in the U.S. and Great Britain

The long-term observed anomalies from the Budyko curve are analyzed through a water-energy balance for the US and GB, as depicted in (a, b), respectively. The z-axis depicts anomalies from the Budyko curve, while the x- and y-axes display the causal strengths between streamflow-precipitation and streamflow-aridity, respectively, reflecting the water-energy balance of the catchments. The projections of the observations over the x- and y-axes are shown in (c) and (e) for the US and panels (d) and (f) for GB.
