Fig. 9: Reconstruction of RCP4.5 principle component using FEM-BV-VARX representations of RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 climate model output.

a Projection of RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 FEM-BV-VARX models using their associated exogenous concentrations, compared to PCs of all three scenarios (black dashed). b Projection of RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 FEM-BV-VARX models using RCP4.5 exogenous concentrations. c Centred 3-year moving average of the squared distance between the FEM-BV-VARX projections using RCP4.5 exogenous concentrations and the PCs of the associated scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP8.5) from which the FEM-BV-VARX models were learnt. d Weights for combining time varying FEM-BV-VARX parameters. e FEM-BV-VARX projection of RCP4.5 (magenta) using the ws(t) weighted average of the RCP2.6 an RCP8.5 model parameters, compared to the first PC of each scenario (black dashed).
