Correction to: Communications Earth & Environment https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-023-01008-9, published online 28 September 2023

In the version of the article initially published, in the first paragraph of the Methods, the text “CEUS (30° to 50°N, −106° to −91°E)” should have read “CEUS (30° to 50°N, −110° to −75°E)” and “SEUR (40° to 50°N, 0° to 45°E)” should have read “SEUR (35° to 50°N, 0° to 45°E)”. These corrections have now been made to the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
