Fig. 6: Bivariate distribution for average anomalies in temperature and negative precipitation for the three chosen periods for the whole European domain. CRCM5-LE PRES in dark green, GWL2 in orange and GWL3 in violet.
From: European hot and dry summers are projected to become more frequent and expand northwards
The two lines encircle 95% and 50% of the data and are obtained by kernel density estimation. ERA5 years 1959–2022 shown with black dots. Most extreme years from the previous analysis are notified with black text. The most extreme year of 2003 for the whole domain is highlighted with black horizontal and vertical lines. Marginal distributions of temperature anomaly for the three periods are displayed in the upper plot; negative precipitation anomaly in the right plot. Dashed lines in the marginal plots indicate the 95th percentile of the corresponding distribution.
