Fig. 4: Simulated contributions of precipitation and evapotranspiration to water balance.
From: Patterns and drivers of Holocene moisture variability in mid-latitude eastern North America
Simulated evolution of hydrological variables that govern water balance changes is shown for the past 12 ka relative to preindustrial (PI) for the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Northeast regions (P = precipitation, PET = potential evapotranspiration, P − PET = water balance). The 12, 11, and 9 ka snapshots (a) are based on CESM1 simulations, while the past 8 ka (b) represent the average of MPI-ESM and EC-Earth transient runs. For the numerical paleoclimate anomalies from the models, see Supplementary Table 2.
