Fig. 1: Extreme global climate change in six nuclear war simulations.

From: Nuclear Niño response observed in simulations of nuclear war scenarios

Fig. 1

Monthly global mean a downwelling solar flux anomaly (W m−2) and b surface temperature anomaly (°C) for all nuclear war scenarios as simulated in CESM-WACCM4. Gray shading indicates ±1 standard deviation from the model climatological mean. NW-150Tg c surface temperature anomaly (°C) and d precipitation anomaly (mm/day) averaged from June of year 0 (1 month after the soot injection) to June of year 2.
