Precipitation
Patterns of changes in precipitation over the globe show much less
spatial coherence, as shown in Figure 10 for DJF for the same
two models. Reasonable agreement is shown between models in Africa and mid
and northern latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere. This agreement may be
misleading, however, because comparison with a third model (Canadian
Climate Centre model, not shown) does not confirm the large-scale patterns
shown in the accompanying graphs. Maps for JJA (Figure 11) also
have some areas of agreement and large areas of disagreement.
