Precipitation over Northern South America and Its Seasonal Variability as Simulated by the CMIP5 Models

Figure 10

Latitude-height cross sections of the seasonal cycle of the zonal winds at 82°W between 5°S and 18°N ((a) CFSR, (b) NorESM1-ME, (c) NorESM1-M, (d) HadGEM2-ES, (e) HadGEM2-CC, (f) GFDLESM2M, (g) FGOALS-g2, and (h) CCSM4). The asterisks indicate the reference datasets. Color bar represents zonal wind speeds in m/s.
