Fig. 4: Temporal evolution of area-averaged standardized anomalies during agricultural flash drought events.
From: The prevalent life cycle of agricultural flash droughts
The temporal evolution is shown for the nine-pentad period centered at FD onset (lag = 0) for: a precipitation (Pr), b temperature (T), c evapotranspiration (EVT), and d soil moisture (SM). e Shows the temporal evolution of the soil water deficit index (SWDI). f Map that highlights the agricultural flash drought hotspots. The colored lines represent the individual hotspots. The average value over all hotspots is shown as a thick black line. The full names of the agricultural flash drought hotspots are presented in Table 1.
