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

Figure 6

(a) Map of regions selected to evaluate the simulation of the annual cycle of precipitation by the seven CMIP5 models considered (Amazon region: blue box, Central Colombia region: orange box, Colombian Pacific region: green box, and Colombian Caribbean region: red box); (b) Spatial mean of the rainfall annual cycle in the regions presented in (a). The annual cycle for the Amazon is presented starting in October, in order to visualize the entire wet season over the region. Values for vertical axis are in mm/day.
