The onset of peak evaporation is the same as the onset of peak precipitation. The magnitude of the evaporation change was raised which produced a higher rate of evaporation during the growing seasons. The large red area between the upper evaporation curve and the lower precipitation curve shows a large deficit resulting in a reduction of 38% in the crop yield.

The onset of peak evaporation is 15 days after the peak precipitation. The magnitude of the evaporation change was raised which produced a higher rate of evaporation during the growing seasons. This allows for a larger deficit area due to slight increase in evaporation at the beginning of the growing season during a decreasing period of precipitation. There is a reduction of 45% in the crop yield.

The onset of peak evaporation is 30 days later than the peak precipitation. The magnitude of the evaporation change was raised which produced a higher rate of evaporation during the growing seasons. This shift leads to a slight surplus (blue) at the beginning of the growing season and a larger deficit (red) shortly following the beginning of the growing season. There is a reduction of 56% in the crop yield.

The onset of peak evaporation is 45 days later than the peak precipitation. The magnitude of the evaporation change was raised which produced a higher rate of evaporation during the growing seasons. Note that the surplus area is growing as compared to the previous graph but the deficit area is also growing, but at a faster rate. There was a reduction of 64% in the crop yield.

The onset of peak evaporation is 90 days later than the peak precipitation. The magnitude of the evaporation change was raised which produced a higher rate of evaporation during the growing seasons. There is a small area of surplus, but the large area of deficit late in the growing season outweighs this area. There was a reduction of 80% in the crop yield.
