Figure 1
Precipitation anomalies during winter 2011/2012 over Europe and cumulative precipitation anomalies for the five driest/wettest years for the southwest Iberian Peninsula since 1950.
(a) Anomaly of winter (December 2011 to February 2012) relative to long-term mean for the period 1950-2013. 100% corresponds to long-term mean precipitation (565 mm); 20% corresponds to 20% of long-term mean precipitation during this period. (b) Accumulated precipitation deviations from climatology (1950–2013) during the hydrological year (1 October–30 September) for the area (10 °W–5 °W; 37 °N–40 °N) marked with a black box in (a). Only land grid points are considered.
