Fig. 4: Changes in Asian westerly jet stream position and precipitation over the arid Central Asia (ACA) induced by individual climate forcers.

Asian sulfate (SULx10Asia) and black carbon (BCx10Asia), as well as GHGs (CO2x2) induced changes for the multi-model mean (MMM) in JJA westerly jet position (degree), JJA total precipitation (PRECT, 10−1 mm day−1), convective precipitation (PRECC, 10−1 mm day−1), and large-scale precipitation (PRECL, 10−1 mm day−1) over ACA. Error bars of MMM represent the standard deviation among the PDRMIP models.
