Fig. 2: Decadal temperature changes in ramp-up and occurrence of local warming hiatuses.

a An 11-year running mean time series of winter temperatures over North America (red) and East Asia (blue) in ramp-up experiments. Bright-colored lines represent each individual ensemble simulation in which the ninth is highlighted in darker colors. Dotted lines denote the ensemble average, and upside-down triangles denote the onset of a local warming hiatus. Bars depict the annual-mean GMT (ninth ensemble member result), highlighted by a darker color when warmer than the ensemble averages. b Filled boxes denote periods when regional temperatures show a steep negative trend within a running window (<−0.5 °C/11 years; Methods). Vertical axis represents 28 ensemble experiments.
