Annual mean and interannual variability of VPD and precipitation over tropical
South America with shaded regional masks
.
Blue: northeast Amazon (NE

Amazon); green:
west and southwest Amazon (WSW

Savanna). A and B: annual mean and interannual variability of VPD (unit: hPa); C and D: annual
mean precipitation and its intera
nnual variability (unit: mm/day) over Jan 2010
Dec 2018.
Precipitation is from CPC merged analysis of precipitation (CMAP), and
VPD is from ERA
