Climate Change Scenarios of Precipitation Extremes in the Carpathian Region Based on an Ensemble of Regional Climate Models

Figure 3

Ensemble mean and ensemble quantiles (Q25 and Q75) of the projected relative changes (in %) for the late 21st century (2070–2099) in comparison with the control period (1961–1990) of mean seasonal precipitation, mean seasonal maxima of 1-hour/1-day and 5-day precipitation, and 50-year return values of 1-hour/1-day and 5-day precipitation assessed by the pooling (ROI) approach. Large (small) “+/−” signs indicate grid boxes where at least 10 (8) of the 12 RCMs agree on the sign of change for the given precipitation characteristic.
