Fig. 2: The role of air temperature and wind speed in the frequency of extreme wind chill days (EWCDs).

Fig. 2

Each panel shows the difference between PGW and CTRL (i.e., PGW-CTRL) for the three PGW scenarios. “PGW_Full” refers to the original PGW simulations (both wind speed and temperature from PGW simulation; see the top-right panel in Fig. 1). The “PGW_WS” scenario uses wind speed from PGW and air temperature from CTRL, while “PGW_T” uses air temperature from PGW and wind speed from CTRL.
