The annual mean change of the temperature (colour shading) and its range (isolines)

 

Figure 20: The annual mean change of the temperature (colour shading) and its range (isolines) (Unit: °C) for the SRES scenario A2  (upper panel) and the SRES scenario B2  (lower panel).

Both SRES scenarios show the period 2071 to 2100 relative to the period 1961 to 1990 and were performed by OAGCMs.
