Discovery of North America’s role in Asia’s monsoons offers new insights into climate change

Caption

  1. June-July-August-September (JJAS) precipitation anomalies from flat-continent sensitivity experiments. Precipitation anomalies (mm/day, shading) show the effects of adding individual continents to the EuraIndAfr baseline: (A) North America (EuraIndAfrNA - EuraIndAfr), (B) South America (EuraIndAfrSA - EuraIndAfr), (C) Australia (EuraIndAfrAus - EuraIndAfr), (D) Antarctica (EuraIndAfrAnt - EuraIndAfr). Inset maps show global land-sea-mountain masks, where white shading highlights the landmass added in each sensitivity experiment.
