Fig. 9: Conditions associated with the largest positive 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 red stars denote anomalously high land vapor years used in panels b–h. b The percent contribution to total Arctic vapor from land and individual ocean regions in anomalously high land vapor summers. c The anomalies in land vapor contributions from latitude-based regions during high Arctic land vapor summers. d The anomalies in land vapor contributions from longitude-based regions during high Arctic land vapor summers. e The anomalies in vapor contributions from land and individual ocean regions during high Arctic land vapor summers. f The anomalies in ET during high Arctic land vapor summers. g The average 500 mb GPH fields (contours) and difference from climatological mean (shading) during high Arctic land vapor summers. h The average SLP fields (contours) and difference from climatological mean (shading) during high Arctic land vapor summers. Asterisks on the bars in c–e indicate statistically significant anomalies (see Methods).
