Moisture Sources for Continental Climatic Regions (CCRs)

Items

• Identification of the moisture sources
• Evaluation of the importance of the source throughout the ten days of moisture transport
• Monthly cycle of the contribution of the moisture sources to the precipitation on the CCR
• Interannual/seasonal variability of the contribution of the moisture sources to the precipitation on the CCR
• Evaluation of the role of main teleconnection patterns
• Identification of hot areas in the region more influenced by future climate changes in evaporation

The magenta lines show the main moisture sources for the CCR defined by a threshold of 0.1 mm/day
