Fig. 5: Variability and correlation between TPW, ocean evaporation, and precipitation.
From: Enhancement of Indian summer monsoon rainfall by cross-equatorial dry intrusions
a, b Histograms of the normalized frequencies of a precipitation and b TPW for the seasonal climatology (orange) and for 5 days after te (cyan). The numbers in color denote the mean during the respective category. c, d Lead-lag correlation between TPW–precipitation (blue line), ocean evaporation–precipitation (green lines), and ocean evaporation–TPW (magenta lines) for c a reference of no-DI conditions and d 6 days after ts, i.e., following DI events. Precipitation and TPW are spatially averaged over the target region marked in Fig. 4, whereas ocean evaporation is spatially averaged over the CIO (black box in Fig. 3d).
