Dependence of Arctic warming and amplification on sea-ice loss among 38 CMIP5 models. Scatter plot of 2070–2099 minus 1970–1999 difference under the RCP85 scenario between annual Arctic SIC loss and Arctic surface warming (red), Arctic-minus-global warming difference (blue), or the Arctic-to-global warming ratio (i.e., the Arctic amplification, or AA, black). Each dot is for one CMIP5 model. Correlation coefficients: r(SIC, dTas_Arctic) = 0.87 (p = 0.00), r(SIC, Tas_diff) = 0.84 (=0.00), and r (SIC, AA) = 0.54 (p = 0.01)
