Abstract
Spatial distribution of the seasonal changes (in %) between future and historical periods (2021–2050 minus 1981–2010); for total wetday rainfall amount (PRCPTOT; first row), wet-day frequency (RR1; second row), wet-day intensity (SDII; third row), dry spells (CDD; fourth row) and total wet-day rainfall above the 95th percentile (R95PTOT; fifth row), from RCM ensemble mean experiments over Cameroon. Stippling indicates areas where the change is significant (i.e. where at least 80% of simulations agree on the sign of the change). Table S1. List of RCMs and driving GCMs. Table S2. Definitions of rainfall extremes indices. Table S3. Summary of the seasonal changes over the three selected zones, for the DJF season. Table S4. Same as Table S3, but for MAM season. Table S5. Same as Table S3, but for JJA season. Table S6. Same as Table S3, but for SON season. Figure S1. Spatial distribution of the seasonal changes (in %) between future and historical periods (2071–2100 minus 1981–2010). Figure S2. Spatial distribution of the seasonal changes (in 10−6kg−2s−1) between future and historical periods (2071–2100 minus 1981–2010).
