Model-simulated ensemble-mean distribution of drought characteristics change

Caption

Left column shows the change in SSP2-4.5 (mean of 2091-2100) relative to the baseline (mean of 2015-2024); middle column shows the change in MCB (mean of 2091-2100) relative to the baseline; right column shows the change in MCB relative to SSP2-4.5: (A-C) Drought intensity (DI), (D-F) Drought severity (DS), (G-I) Drought frequency (DF) (unit: months per year), (J-L) Drought duration (DD) (unit: months), and (M-O) Drought occurrence (DO). Hatched areas indicate regions where changes are not statistically significant at the 95% confidence level using Welch’s t-test.
