Product Information: Plot: Plume of time series anomalies for probabilistic projections (25km) over UK, 1961-2100

Process Title:

Plot: Plume of time series anomalies for probabilistic projections (25km) over UK, 1961-2100

Abstract:

Generates a plume plot from a time series of probabilistic climate projections for one variable. Results are available for a given emissions scenario, temporal average, time, location (on the 25km grid or regional average). The typical plume shows the 5th, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th and 95th percentiles for the chosen emissions scenario.

User Guide:

For guidance on the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) and how to interpret the plots, please see the guidance pages.

Warning:

Before using this product, please read the UKCP18 Guidance on Caveats and Limitations as well as the conditions of us under the Open Government Licence.

Variable	Variable	A climate variable anomaly is the difference of a future climate variable compared to a past or present climate (e.g. 1981-2000). Anomalies can be expressed in absolute values (e.g. degrees Celsius change for temperature) are relative values (e.g. percentage change for precipitation)	string	item		tasAnom prAnom tasmaxAnom tasminAnom hussAnom pslAnom rlsAnom rsdsAnom rssAnom cltAnom	Mean air temperature anomaly at 1.5m (°C) Precipitation rate anomaly (%) Maximum air temperature anomaly at 1.5m (°C) Minimum air temperature anomaly at 1.5m (°C) Specific humidity percentage change anomaly at 1.5m (%) Sea level pressure anomaly (hPa) Net Surface long wave flux anomaly (W m-2) Total downward short wave flux anomaly (W m-2) Net Surface short wave flux anomaly (W m-2) Total cloud anomaly (%)	False
