Fig. 3: Contribution of weather anomalies to the JJA 2022 soil moisture drought.
From: Direct and lagged climate change effects intensified the 2022 European drought
a, The anomaly in the JJA 2022 average soil moisture owing to the anomaly in precipitation during DJF 2021–2022, in units of s.d. of the JJA 1960–2021 distribution. The number on the top right shows the spatially weighted average across Europe (Fig. 1a). b,c, The same as a, but for the contribution to the JJA 2022 soil moisture drought from anomalies in precipitation of MAM 2022 (b) and JJA 2022 (c). d–f, The same as a–c, but for the contribution to the drought from combined anomalies in average daily temperature and daily temperature range for DJF 2021–2022 (d), MAM 2022 (e) and JJA 2022 (f). Simulations are based on the mHM.
