Fig. 2: Projected changes in winter precipitation (2070–2099 relative to 1985–2014) under SSP5–8.5.
From: Robust future intensification of winter precipitation over the United States
Spatial change in winter precipitation over the US scaled with mean temperature change (% K−1; center figure). Hatching indicates grid points where at least 70% of the models agree on the sign of the EnsMean change. Time evolution of the number of wet winter years over different regions under SSP5–8.5 (time series plots). The number of wet years in the preceding 30 years is plotted and smoothed using 10-year running means. Red (blue) lines represent the multimodel ensemble median (EnsMean). Orange lines represent individual model results. The horizontal dotted gray line marks the reference of 1.5 out of 30 winter wet years based on the 95th percentile value in the historical period (1985–2014).
