Fig. 5: Comparison of the decomposed physical processes of monsoon precipitation: past warmth vs. future warming.

As Fig. 2c, but separating thermodynamic and dynamical contributions to moisture transport (units: mm/day) in response to similar CO2 increase in two climate contexts, including MPWP (top); PI (middle); and current transient warming relative to the PI period (bottom). From left to right: thermodynamic and dynamical decompositions of changes in total moisture transport, changes in horizontal moisture transport, changes in vertical moisture transport.
