Figure 2

Simulated zonal-mean linear subsurface temperature trends in the SH ocean basins.

Simulated zonally-averaged linear trends from a 42 CMIP5 model ensemble (one experiment each) over 1960–1999 of subsurface temperature over the southern tropical and subtropical: (a) Atlantic Ocean (70°W–20°E), (b) Indian Ocean (40°E–110°E), (c) Pacific Ocean (120°E–70°W) and (d) global ocean. Trend units are °C 40-years−1. Significant trends, greater than one-standard deviation of the inter-model spread, are shown within the contours. Although the cooling trends are not significant based on the model spread, they are statistically significant at the 95% confidence level, based on a t-test on the 42 simulation ensemble (not shown in plot).
