Extended Data Fig. 3: TX90p trends based on air and soil temperatures in summer from 1996 to 2021 over Europe.

From: Soil heat extremes can outpace air temperature extremes

Extended Data Fig. 3

From left to right, trend in TX90p based on air (TX90pAir) and soil temperatures (TX90pSoil), the difference between absolute values of trends in soil and air (Abs. TX90pSoil - TX90pAir), and the difference between trends where both trends are positive (Incr. TX90pSoil - TX90pAir). TX90p is defined as the percentage of hot days in boreal summer per year. Results are obtained from meteorological stations (a), a combination of CM SAF satellite data and the E-OBS dataset (b) and the ERA5Land reanalysis (c). Dots indicate areas with significant trends above the 90% confidence level.
