Fig. 1.5 Spatial patterns of change in the June–to-September seasonal
precipitation (mm day
−1
) over the globe in the left-hand column, and
over India in the right-hand column. In the top row are plotted the
observed changes for the period (1951–2014) relative to (1900–1930)
over the globe based on the CRU dataset, and over India based on the IMD
dataset. Plots in the middle row are from the IITM-ESM simulations for
the historical period, and the plots in the last row are from the IITM-ESM
projections following the SSP5-8.5 scenario. The IITM-ESM simulated
changes in the historical period (first and middle rows) are plotted as
difference for the period (1951–2014) relative to (1850–1900). Changes
under the SSP5-8.5 scenario (last row) are plotted as difference between
the far-future (2070–2099) relative to (1850–1900).
