Fig. 4: Relationships between snow droughts and compound climate extremes.

From: Snow droughts amplify compound climate extremes over the Tibetan Plateau

Fig. 4

a Maximum proportion of the area and magnitude of significant coincidence rates (p < 0.05) between different types of snow droughts and compound climate extremes within 1–3 months after snowpack disappearance. Spatial distribution of significant coincidence rates (colored regions) between DSD and CDHE at 1-month lag (b) and between WSD and CPHE at 1-month lag (d). Kernel density distributions of significant coincidence rates for DSD and CDHE (c) and WSD and CPHE (e) at lags of 1–3 months, where the noted ‘Proportion’ and ‘Mean’ indicate the area proportion and mean value of the significant coincidence rates for each lag.
