Extended Data Fig. 8: Mean seasonal cycle of precipitation in the Lake Ohrid grid cell from LOVECLIM model simulation and NOAA reanalysis data.
From: Mediterranean winter rainfall in phase with African monsoons during the past 1.36 million years
a, Reconstructed precipitation (cm yr−1) for the Lake Ohrid reanalysis grid cell. Data are based on monthly means. Dashed line indicates two standard deviations above the mean. b, Composite anomalies of 850 hPa geopotential height (m) associated with Lake Ohrid precipitation maxima shown in a and referring to the months shown in c. c, Monthly distribution of precipitation maxima shown in a. d, Mean seasonal cycle of simulated Lake Ohrid precipitation (cm yr−1) for all model years (green) and model years with annual mean precipitation exceeding two standard deviations (magenta). See also Fig. 3a. e, Mean seasonal cycle of Lake Ohrid precipitation (cm yr−1) derived from NOAA reanalysis data (blue) and simulated for the period from 1 kyr ago to present (red). The annual means were removed for better comparison and are provided in the panel.
