Image Title:
Simulated annual mean change in select temperature variables
Image Description:
Multi-model means and standard deviations of the simulated annual mean change in select temperature variables from 8 NARCCAP simulations for the Midwest region. Multi-model means from the 8 Daily_CMIP3 simulations are also shown for comparison. Analyses are for the 2041-2070 time period with respect to the reference period of 1971-2000, for the high (A2) emissions scenario.
