Figure 2

The plot of the GAM smooth function for fire size in relation to the MEI 18 month mean, with residuals for the 20 fires; the y-axis is scaled by the smooth function of x. Dotted lines are 95 % confidence intervals. Fire name labels are located at the lower right of the residual of interest, with the exception of Oso. Fire size generally decreased across the pre-burn mean MEI, where negative x-axis values correspond to 18 mo pre-burn time periods that were dominated by La Niña.
