Multimodel GCM-RCM Ensemble-Based Projections of Temperature and Precipitation over West Africa for the Early 21st Century

Figure 11

Averaged JJAS difference between the future (A1B: 2031–2050) and the reference period (1981–2000) of temperature (top panel) and precipitation (bottom panel), from: (a and c) mean ensemble average of the two GCMs; (b, d) multi-model ensemble of the four RCMs. Precipitation changes, in % of present day values and where reference means less than 0.5 mm/day, are masked out. Contours represent where the changes are significant at 90% level.
