Accumulated water cycle change versus change in salinity volumetric distribution in CMIP5 simulations.
(a) Water cycle amplitude anomaly (Fcycle’; anomaly with respect to the pre-industrial mean) in the CMIP5 historical (1950–2005; black line), RCP4.5 (2006–2100; blue line), and RCP8.5 (2006–2100; red line) simulations. (b) Mean salinity deviation anomaly (W ′; anomaly with respect to 1950) in historical (1950–2005; black line), RCP4.5 (2006–2100; blue line) and RCP8.5 (2006–2100; red line) simulations. (c) Accumulated fresh water transport from high salinity to low salinity regions by the water cycle 
(calculated: blue lines; inferred from equation (1): green lines; inferred from equation (1) assuming no change in mixing: black lines) for the historical and RCP4.5 scenario ensemble mean (1950–2100). (d) same as (c) but for RCP8.5. Solid lines depict ensemble means and shaded areas depict one standard deviation limits.
