Fig. 2: Time series of climate model and observed ETx7d anomalies and timing.
From: Detecting anthropogenically induced changes in extreme and seasonal evapotranspiration observations

Anomalies are shown for the three European SREX regions Mediterranean Med (a), Western Central Europe WCE (b), and Northern Europe NEU (c). The shading shows a smoothed range of ± one standard deviation around the ensemble mean in a selection of climate models forced with the historical and subsequent SSP5-8.5 scenario. The lines represent the Ex7d in three observational products over these SREX regions with a three-year running mean applied for visual clarity. d, e, f show the timing as the day of the year when the maximum occurred in the same climate models and observations. Day 125 corresponds to 5 May and day 225 to 3 August.
