This figure appears in chapter 13 of the Climate Science Special Report: The Fourth National Climate Assessment: Volume I report.

Projected changes in sea surface temperature (°C) for the coastal United States under the higher scenario (RCP8.5). Projected anomalies for the 2050–2099 period are calculated using a comparison from the average sea surface temperatures over 1956–2005. Projected changes are examined using the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) suite of model simulations. (Figure source: NOAA).
