Projected change in Northern hemisphere spring snow cover extent
Chart (static)
Projected change in Northern Hemisphere spring (March to April average) snow cover extent based on the CMIP5 ensemble for different forcing scenarios (representative concentration pathways; RCP). Values are given relative to the 1986–2005 reference period. Thick lines mark the multi-model average, shading indicates the inter-model spread (one standard deviation).
The figure is adapted from Figure 12.32 in Chapter 12 of the Working Group I contribution to the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report.
Data was provided by Gerhard Krinner (Lead Author of that chapter; Laboratoire de Glaciologie et Géophysique de l’Environnement, France).
