Figure Lengend Snippet: Trends in frequency of 85 th percentile heatwaves over India during the period 1951–2010 for different durations. ( a ) 3-day heatwaves ( b ) 5-day heatwaves and ( c ) 10-day heatwaves. Trends are detected using Mann-Kendall test and the magnitude of trend is quantified using Sen’s slope method at 95% significance level. This figure is plotted in Matlab R2014a (Version 8.3.0.532, URL: https://in.mathworks.com ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Major heatwaves in India during 1951–2010. The maps show the spatial distribution of HWMId for ( a ) 1998 heatwaves with maximum HWMId 55.8 at the grid 12.5 N, 76.5E ( b ) 2003 heatwaves with maximum HWMId 33.5 at the grid 14.5 N, 78.5E and ( c ) 1973 heatwaves with maximum HWMId 28.8 at the grid 16.5 N, 75.5E.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Percentage area in meteorological droughts ( a ) Meteorologically homogeneous regions of India and ( b – g ). Percentage area of different homogeneous regions in moderate droughts defined below SPI < −1.3. Mann-Kendall trend test results in terms of p-values are also shown here. Statistically significant trends are observed in the spatial extent of droughts from 1951 to 2010 for West Central India and Central Northeast India. The map of IMD homogeneous regions in this figure is prepared in QGIS (Version 2.14.0 ‘Essen’, free and open source geographic information system, QGIS Development Team (2016), URL: http://changelog.qgis.org/en/qgis/version/2.14.0/ ) and all other plots are generated using Matlab R2014a (Version 8.3.0.532, URL: https://in.mathworks.com ).

Article Title: Increasing frequency and spatial extent of concurrent meteorological droughts and heatwaves in India

doi: 10.1038/s41598-017-15896-3

Figure Lengend Snippet: Percentage changes in concurrent moderate droughts defined below SPI < −1.3 and heatwaves during 1981–2010 with respect to the base period 1951–1980. Droughts with longer and severe heatwaves have increased much more than droughts with shorter duration and less severe heatwaves. Droughts and heatwaves are increasing across whole India and notably decreasing in Rajasthan and West Bengal. The maps are prepared in Matlab R2014a (Version 8.3.0.532, URL: https://in.mathworks.com ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Spatial area of India in concurrent moderate droughts defined below SPI < −1.3 and heatwaves. Percentage area of India in concurrent moderate droughts (SPI < −1.3) and ( a ) 85 th percentile heatwaves ( b ) 90 th percentile heatwaves and ( c ) 95 th percentile heatwaves. Empirical CDFs of area affected by concurrent droughts (SPI < −1.3) and heatwaves for the periods 1951 to 1980 in blue and 1981 to 2010 in red ( d – i ). Significant departure is observed in CDFs during the period 1951 to 1980 compared to the base period for all combinations and divergence is highest in upper tail of 10-day heatwaves.
