Annual Total Precipitation Greater than the 99th Percentile

LOCA simulations of the change in the annual total precipitation for all days exceeding the 99th percentile (pr-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 inches. Units for “Lower Emissions”, “Higher Emissions”, and “Upper Bound” maps are percent change.

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