Temperature Changes over the CORDEX-MENA Domain in the 21st Century Using CMIP5 Data Downscaled with RegCM4: A Focus on the Arabian Peninsula

Figure 12

Simulated maximum temperature extracted nearer grid point of the station locations for (a) Makkah, (b) Madinah, (c) Riyadh, and (d) Saudi Arabia (averaged over 27 stations) for both RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 along with ERA-Int and surface observational data. For RegCM simulations, average taken from HadGEM2- and ECHAM6-driven runs are also shown by solid lines. Shaded area shows the range. The relative humidity (in %) is also shown for each panel (RH85 and RH45 for, respectively, RCP8.5 and RCP4.5).
