b) Global projected spatial patterns of multi-model mean change in DJF seasonal mean relative humidity in 2081-2100 relative to 1995-2014 in SSP3-7.0
c) Global projected spatial patterns of multi-model mean change in JJA seasonal mean relative humidity in 2081-2100 relative to 1995-2014 in SSP1-2.6

List of data provided
---------------------------------------------------
CMIP6 multi-model mean projected change in DJF and JJA seasonal mean relative humidity (2081-2100) from SSP1‑2.6 and SSP3‑7.0 relative to 1995-2014.
---------------------------------------------------
Data provided in relation to figure
---------------------------------------------------
The variable hurs includes the map information as a function of latitude and longitude and has a dimension named panel, which includes the data for all panels a-d.
DJF stands for December, January, February.
JJA stands for June, July, August.
CMIP6 is the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project.
SSP1-2.6 is based on Shared Socioeconomic Pathway SSP1 with low climate change mitigation and adaptation challenges and RCP2.6, a future pathway with a radiative forcing of 2.6 W/m2 in the year 2100.
SSP3-7.0 is based on Shared Socioeconomic Pathway SSP3 which is characterized by high challenges to both mitigation and adaptation and RCP7.0, a future pathway with a radiative forcing of 7.0 W/m2 in the year 2100.

| Abstract | Long-term changes in seasonal mean relative humidity. Displayed are projected spatial patterns of multi-model mean change (%) in seasonal (top) December–January–February (DJF) and (bottom) June–July–August (JJA) mean near-surface relative humidity in 2081–2100 relative to 1995–2014, for (left) SSP1-2.6 and (right) SSP3-7.0. The number of models used is indicated in the top right of the maps. No overlay indicates regions where the change is robust and likely emerges from internal variability, that is, where at least 66% of the models show a change greater than the internal variability threshold (Section 4.2.6) and at least 80% of the models agree on the sign of change. Diagonal lines indicate regions with no change or no robust significant change, where fewer than 66% of the models show change greater than the internal-variability threshold. Crossed lines indicate areas of conflicting signals where at least 66% of the models show change greater than the internal-variability threshold but fewer than 80% of all models agree on the sign of change. Further details on data sources and processing are available in the chapter data table (Table 4.SM.1). |
