From: Multivariate climate departures have outpaced univariate changes across global lands
Annual time series and trends in median global climate departures. (a) Median annual multivariate climate departures (σd), results from a counterfactual simulation that removed the modeled influence of anthropogenic climate change (σd,No-ACC), and results from sensitivity experiments that removed the linear trend in annual precipitation (σd,dP/dT) and annual precipitation, reference evapotranspiration, and temperature (σdALL/dT). (b) Observed univariate climate departures for average maximum temperature of the warmest month (Tx,max), average minimum temperature of the coldest month (Tn,min), actual evapotranspiration (AET), and climatic water deficit (D). Annual percent of land surfaces with climate departures> 2σ for (c) σd and (d) individual variables. Global median sen-slope trends in (e) climate departures and (f) percent of land area>2σ during 1958–2017.
