Figure 5.
CMIP5 winter trends in (a) dry day frequency versus mean sea level pressure and (b) very heavy precipitation events versus mean IVT average over the Mediterranean-climate grids (stippled region shown in Fig. 1a) by 2060–2089, relative to the historical period 1960–1989, using the RCP8.5 forcing scenario over the five global Mediterranean-climate regions. Colored dots correspond to specific GCMs. Regression lines and correlation coefficients for each scatterplot are provided on each panel. Figure was plotted using NCAR Command Language Version 6.3.0 (NCL; ref. 31).
