Fig. 4: Drivers of flash drought over hotspot regions.
From: Global projections of flash drought show increased risk in a warming climate
a The change in multi-model median between future scenarios (SSP126—blue, SSP245—orange, and SSP585—red for the years 2066–2100) and the historical period (1980–2014) for flash drought frequency (FD), precipitation (P), potential evapotranspiration (PET), and root zone soil moisture (RZSM) in each study domain. b Comparison of total change in precipitation and PET (-P + PET), c change in precipitation, and d change in potential evapotranspiration versus change in flash drought frequency between the mean of the future scenarios (2066–2100) and the historical period (1980–2014).
