European Droughts (IMAGE)
Caption
The four Central European droughts of the years 2003, 2015, 2018, and 2019: Shown are the water mass anomalies, i.e. the long term mean annual signal has been removed. The time series plot in the middle displays the total water mass anomaly over Central Europe in gigatons, whereas the four maps show the spatial distribution of the anomalie (in equivalent water height) in the driest month of each drought year.
