Fig. 5: Climate model simulations of temperature and precipitation over the last 1000 years.
From: Ocean variability drives a millennial-scale shift in South Pacific hydroclimate
(a, c) Mean surface temperature and (b, d) mean precipitation simulated by IGCM4 for the 1KBP (a, b) and PRE (c, d) experiments. The implied change in mean surface temperature (e) and precipitation (f) from 1000 years BP to present (i.e. PRE minus 1KBP; thin grey line is the zero change contour). The locations of Efate, ‘Uvea, ‘Upolu, Tahiti, Tahaa, and Nuku Hiva are marked, from West to East, by the red circles in (a–d), and by filled circles showing the simulated change in mean temperature (e) and precipitation (f) at each island location.
