Fig. 3: Projected changes in OTLD characteristics under SSP585.
From: Increase in ocean-onto-land droughts and their drivers under anthropogenic climate change
a Change in the total frequency of landfalling OTLDs between SSP585 during 2021–2100 and under ALL during 1961–2020. “SSP585 − ALL” indicates the difference between the future projections and historical all-forcings simulations. b–f The same as a, but for anomalies of frequency, duration, intensity, areal extent, and total magnitude between SSP585 during 2071–2100 and under ALL during 1981–2010, respectively. Black dots represent regions with significant differences in OTLD characteristics (p-value < 0.05 based on the student’s t-test). g–j The red lines show mean duration (g), intensity (h), maximum area (i), and total magnitude (j) of OTLDs within a 21-year moving window under ALL and SSP585. Four-time series show a significant trend (Mann-Kendall test at the 0.01% significance level). Shading represents the standard deviation of OTLD characteristics across the multi-model ensemble. The figure is done in the software R 4.1.2 (https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/).
