Extended Data Fig. 7: Mean summer precipitation response to change in regional physiography.

From: Neogene South Asian monsoon rainfall and wind histories diverged due to topographic effects

Extended Data Fig. 7

a) late Miocene (LM), b) LM with half present-day Anatolia-Iran topography (LM-AIO), c) LM with partly submerged Eastern Arabian Peninsula (LM-NoEAP) and reduced topography in the Anatolia-Iran region, d) early Miocene, e) EM with fully uplifted HTP region (EM-HTP), f) EM with higher than present-day Himalaya orography (EM-Him). Dashed square indicates the area over which inland precipitation seasonality index (Main text, Fig. 4) is computed.
