From: Multi-year predictability of climate, drought, and wildfire in southwestern North America

Same as Fig. 3, but for observational estimates for precipitation in GPCC, total soil water in CPC, and fire weather index in GFWED (see Supplementary Methods). The composite difference of fire weather index is evaluated by 10 positive and 6 negative years because of the available data length. The region with climatologically low fire activity is masked out (less than 1 fire weather index per month). Plots were generated using the NCAR Command Language (Version 6.3.0) [Software]. (2016).
