Climate variable differences between Global and Standard experiments for the decade centered on year 2100
| Global | Global land | SH mid-latitude land (50°S to 20°S) | Tropical land (20°S to 20°N) | NH mid-latitude land (20°S to 50°N) | NH high-latitude land (50°S to 90°N) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surface temperature, K | −0.3 | −1.0 | 0.1 | −0.4 | −1.6 | −2.1 |
| Evapotranspiration, % | −2.6 | −7.8 | −16.7 | −5.8 | −5.8 | −14.6 |
| Surface albedo, % | 1.9 | 5.2 | 5.0 | 4.1 | 4.7 | 10.7 |
| TOA albedo, % | 0.6 | 1.6 | 0.5 | −0.3 | 1.7 | 5.5 |
| Total cloudiness, % | −0.7 | −1.7 | −4.7 | −4.6 | −1.2 | 2.5 |
| Surface SW absorbed, Wm−2 | −1.4 | −4.3 | −1.7 | 1.2 | −5.2 | −13.8 |
| Surface downward SW, Wm−2 | 2.2 | 5.1 | 11.3 | 12.9 | 3.0 | −3.2 |
Evapotranspiration percentage differences are relative to Standard mean climate for this period. Cloudiness and albedo changes are absolute changes. SH, Southern Hemisphere; NH, Northern Hemisphere; TOA, Top of Atmosphere; SW, shortwave.
