Box 10.1, Figure 2: Analysis
of inter-model consistency in regional precipitation change. Regions are classified
as showing either agreement on increase with an average change of greater than
20% (‘Large increase�), agreement on increase with an average change
between 5 and 20% (‘Small increase�), agreement on a change between
-5 and +5% or agreement with an average change between -5 and 5% (‘No change�),
agreement on decrease with an average change between -5 and -20% (‘Small
decrease�), agreement on decrease with an average change of less than -20%
(‘Large decrease�), or disagreement (‘Inconsistent sign�).
A consistent result from at least seven of the nine models is deemed necessary
for agreement.
