Investigating the Influence of Anthropogenic Forcing on Observed Mean and Extreme Sea Level Pressure Trends over the Mediterranean Region

Figure 5

Seasonal uncentred (a) and centered (b) regression indices ( 𝑦 -axes) of observed SLP changes onto the changes in response to GS forcing derived from 17 climate change projections ( 𝑥 -axes) based on the SRES A1B scenario (blue bars) and regression coefficient of observed SLP changes onto the simulated GS signal estimated from ensemble mean of 17 ANT simulations (red bars). Whiskers show the 90% uncertainty ranges of regression coefficients derived from observationally based internal variability, estimated from block bootstrapping. The solid lines mark regression indices equal to unity indicating consistency with GS forcing.
