Fig. 10: Conditions associated with the largest negative anomalies of land vapor in the Arctic.
From: Terrestrial sources of summer arctic moisture and the implication for arctic temperature patterns
a Average summer land vapor in the Arctic for each year of the simulation. The blue stars denote anomalously low land vapor years used in panels b–h. b The percent contribution to total Arctic vapor from land and individual ocean regions in anomalously low land vapor summers. c The anomalies in land vapor contributions from latitude-based regions during low Arctic land vapor summers. d The anomalies in land vapor contributions from longitude-based regions during low Arctic land vapor summers. e The anomalies in vapor contributions from land and individual ocean regions during low Arctic land vapor summers. f The anomalies in ET during low Arctic land vapor summers. g The average 500 mb GPH fields (contours) and difference from climatological mean (shading) during low Arctic land vapor summers. h The average SLP fields (contours) and difference from climatological mean (shading) during low Arctic land vapor summers. Asterisks on the bars in c–e indicate statistically significant anomalies (see Methods).
