Image Title:
Simulated annual mean precipitation change
Image Description:
Simulated annual mean precipitation change (%) for Alaska, for each future time period (2021-2050, 2041-2070, and 2070-2099) with respect to the reference period of 1971-1999. Values are given for the high (A2) and low (B1) emissions scenarios for the 14 (B1) or 15 (A2) CMIP3 models. The small plus signs indicate each individual model and the circles depict the multi-model means. The ranges of model-simulated changes are very large compared to the mean changes and to differences between the A2 and B1 emissions scenarios.
