From: Atmospheric teleconnection patterns and hydrological whiplashes in the Western U.S.
Spatial distribution of precipitation volatility in the Western U.S. basins for near-term (2020–2060) and far-term future (2060–2100) under four climate scenarios: CMIP5 RCP 4.5, RCP 8.5, and CMIP6 SSP2-4.5, SSP5-8.5. CV is used to illustrate variability in precipitation. Higher CV values (red areas) indicate increased volatility and uncertainty in precipitation patterns. Panels a-d represent RCP scenarios, while panels e-h represent SSP scenarios for the same timeframes.
