Fig. 8: The ratio of contribution of PRmean to PRtotal for extreme events based on the US CLIVAR multi-model large ensemble at the end-of-century (EOC, 2070-2099) relative to 1950-1979 under the RCP8.5 emission scenario.

From: Contribution of climatic changes in mean and variability to monthly temperature and precipitation extremes

Fig. 8

For a monthly high-temperature events, b monthly heavy-precipitation events. Models included: CanESM2, CESM1, CSIRO-Mk3.6, ECEarth, GFDL-CM3, GFDL-ESM2M (M1-M6 respectively). The two highlighted regions are investigated in more depth in Fig. 9. Values of the vertical axis are shown in the global subplot.
