From: Revisiting the recent European droughts from a long-term perspective
Relation between the area under drought and drought severity for precipitation (left), grid-scale runoff (middle) and soil moisture (right) over the Central Europe (top) and Mediterranean (middle) regions and all of the study domain (bottom), based on annual values. The red areas contain 95% of all drought events. The points correspond to the ensemble medians, and the lines span the interquartile range. Values for 2003 and 2015 are labelled in red. White points indicate droughts initiated in the vegetation period. Vertical (horizontal) thick grey line indicates maximum areal extent (severity) within the 95% envelope (red area). Error bars represent the composite uncertainty for the soil moisture and grid-scale runoff drought characteristics due to temporal disaggregation of meteorological forcings and model parameterization. Figure was created in R (ver. 3.2.1, https://www.r-project.org/).
