Fig. 1: Dry season changes in Equatorial Asia during 1979–2021.
From: Fire carbon emissions over Equatorial Asia reduced by shortened dry seasons
a–d Annual time series and trends in mean dry season length (DSL) (a), dry season onset (DSO) (b), dry season end (DSE) (c), and April–June (AMJ) precipitation (d). Because GPCP provides pentad (5-day) precipitation, the 19th to 36th pentads were selected as precipitation for AMJ. Black, red, and blue solid lines indicate the precipitation datasets from CPC-U, ERA5, and GPCP, respectively. The black, red, and blue numbers indicate linear trends (d decade−1 or mm decade−1) and standard error for each of the three precipitation datasets, respectively. e–h Spatial patterns in linear trends of the DSL (e), DSO (f), DSE (g), and AMJ precipitation (h) from CPC-U for 1979–2021. Black dots indicate grids with a significant linear trend (p < 0.1). *p < 0.1; **p < 0.05; ***p < 0.01.
