Fig. 8. Decade of transition between snow-dominated precipitation to rainfall-dominated precipitation and their differences.

The decade of transition from a snow-dominated precipitation regime to a rain-dominated regime for CMIP6 [first column] and CMIP5 [second column] multi-model ensemble means, taken as when annual snowfall relative to annual precipitation falls below 50% and their differences [third column] for a–c December–February (DJF), d–f March–May (MAM), g–i June–August (JJA) and j–l September–November (SON). Areas that do not transition by 2100 are shaded in blue. Areas shaded in white in the first two columns are rain-dominated before the year 2000.
