Extended Data Fig. 2

Histogram of linear trends of Southeast Pacific cloud fraction in 11 AMIP6 simulations over 1984–2009, the common period between the ISCCP observations in a black solid line and AMIP6, with the multi-model mean in a black dashed line and the CESM2 AMIP in a red line. We use the corrected ISCCP data provided by Ref. 51, as the raw ISCCP trends mostly show artifacts associated with changes in the observation system, even for the newest dataset ISCCP-H. The global-mean anomalies have been removed in the AMIP6 simulations prior to calculating the trends, for consistency with the processing of the corrected ISCCP trends where global cloud fraction anomalies are set to zero.
