Fig. 1: Ocean-onto-land Drought (OTLD) characteristics during 1961–2020.
From: Increase in ocean-onto-land droughts and their drivers under anthropogenic climate change
Maps and Taylor diagrams show the frequency (a–c), duration (d–f), areal extent (g–i), intensity (j–l), and total magnitude (m–o) of OTLDs over the globe (excluding Antarctic, Greenland, and the Sahara Desert) during 1961–2020. Each column shows corresponding characteristics derived from the ERA5 reanalysis dataset, CMIP6 multi-model ensemble mean (CMIP6-EM; b, e, h, k, n), and 10 individual CMIP6 models (e, f, i, l, o). The dots in the bottom-left subplots accompanying the maps b, e, h, k, n represent the characteristics of OTLDs in each grid cell between CMIP6-EM and the ERA5 reanalysis dataset. The symbol “RE” indicates the relative error. Above all correlation is at 0.001 significance level. The figure is done in the software R 4.1.2 (https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/).
