Title

Caption for Figure 2.16 from Chapter 2 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6)

Abstract

Changes in precipitation minus evaporation. (a) Trends in precipitation minus evaporation (P–E) between 1980 and 2019. Trends are calculated using OLS regression with significance assessed following AR(1) adjustment after Santer et al. (2008) (‘x’ marks denote non-significant trends). Time series of (b) global, (c) land-only and (d) ocean-only average annual P–E (mm day–1). Further details on data sources and processing are available in the chapter data table (Table 2.SM.1).
