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

Figure 7

1981–2000 averaged JJAS of temperature (top panel, in °C), precipitation (middle panel, mm/day), and specific humidity (shaded; in g/kg; bottom panel) with superimposed wind vector (in m/s) from: (a) CRU observation, (b) mean ensemble of GCMs, (c) multi-model ensemble of the four RCMs, (d) GPCP observation, (e) mean ensemble of GCMs, (f) multi-model ensemble of the four RCMs, (g) NCEP reanalysis, (h) mean ensemble of GCMs, and (i) multi-model ensemble of the four RCMs.
