Annual Number of Days with Minimum Temperature Greater than the 99th Percentile

LOCA simulations of the change in the annual number of days with a minimum temperature greater than the 99th percentile (tmin-days-above-99th). Percentiles are calculated with reference to 1976-2005. Maps are presented for the “Historical Climate”, “Lower Emissions”, “Higher Emissions”, and “Upper Bound” for three future time periods, as described above. Units for “Historical Climate” maps are number of days. Units for “Lower Emissions”, “Higher Emissions”, and “Upper Bound” maps are change in the number of days.

Graphs are also presented depicting the multi-model mean and 5-95th percentile model distributions of “tmin-days-above-99th” under both higher and lower emissions for two urban areas, as described above. Units for graphs are number of days.
