Extended Data Fig. 11

a, b, The climatological mean value of PI (solid line) and the linear trend of the fractional area covered by the PI value above its 90th percentile (bar) in each month during the active season during 1981–2017 in the (a) NH, and (b) SH. The calculation of PI is based on the oceanic variables from the ECMWF dataset and the atmospheric variables from the ERA-5 dataset. The error bars represent 95% confidence intervals in the linear regression analysis. c, d, The climatological mean value of OHC (solid line) and the linear trend of the fractional area covered by the OHC value above its 90th percentile (bar) obtained from the ECMWF dataset in each month during the active season during 1981–2017 in the (c) NH, and (d) SH. e, f, The climatological mean value of RH (solid line) and the linear trend of the fractional area covered by the RH value above its 90th percentile (bar) obtained from the ERA-5 reanalysis dataset in each month during the active season during 1981–2017 in the (e) NH, and (f) SH. g, h, The climatological mean value of VWS (solid line) and the linear trend of the fractional area covered by the VWS value below its 10th percentile (bar) obtained from the ERA-5 reanalysis dataset in each month during the active season during 1981–2017 in the (g) NH, and (h) SH.
