Water Cycle (IMAGE)
Caption
The annual-mean water cycle for the global land monsoon (GLM) region. Black numbers denote the 1986-2005 climatology, while red numbers denote responses to global warming under RCP8.5, the business-as-usual emission scenario (in % change per degree of global-mean surface temperature change). Both the multimodel medians and 25th-75th-percentile intervals are shown. Changes with two-thirds of model agreement are underlined. Changes of moisture budget components are normalized by climatological precipitation.
