Fig. 4: OTLD-linked moisture transport during the pre- and post-landfall periods under ALL, respectively.
From: Increase in ocean-onto-land droughts and their drivers under anthropogenic climate change
Maps show multi-model mean anomalies of vertically integrated moisture divergence (red areas with negative values indicate moisture divergence) and water vapor flux (black arrows) over WNA (a, b), EA (c, d), EAS (e, f), SSA (g, h), SAF (i, j) and AU (k, l) between ALL during the lifetime of OTLDs (pre-landfall: left column; post-landfall: right column) and ALL-climatology (the climatological mean without considering OTLDs). ALL: 1961–2020; climatological mean: 1981–2010; the pre-landfall period indicates a period from origination to landfalling of each OTLD event; the post-landfall period indicates a period from landfall to extinction of each OTLD event. The figure is done in the software R 4.1.2 (https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/).
