Projections of precipitation change over North America in 2080–2100, relative to 1980–2000 under the higher scenario (RCP8.5). (a) Shows the simple unweighted CMIP5 multimodel average, using the significance methodology from IPCCf03117be-ccfe-4f88-b70a-ffd4351b8190 ; (b) shows the weighted results as outlined in Section 3 for models weighted by uniqueness only; and (c) shows weighted results for models weighted by both uniqueness and skill.
