Fig. 3: Comparison of changes in glacier runoff and precipitation during the current and projected megadroughts.
From: Less water from glaciers during future megadroughts in the Southern Andes
Percent changes in total glacier runoff (y-axis) and annual precipitation (x-axis) during the Chilean megadrought (CMD) and its driest year (2019), as well as for the projected megadroughts and their driest years. Megadroughts and their driest year are represented by circles and diamonds, respectively. Changes in total glacier runoff refer to (a) annual and (b) summer (JFM) values, respectively. The circles represent the average between GCMs and error bars represent their total range. The colour of each marker indicates the air temperature anomaly averaged over GCMs for each corresponding period. All changes are compared to the 2000–2009 period.
