Model projected winds, pressure, and temperature in upwelling systems; data are derived from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). Data include surface wind stress (N md-2), air-surface temperatures (degrees C), and sea-level pressures (hPa). Robustness of changes through time are denoted by the "signal-to-noise" ratio, which is defined here as the mean multi-model change divided by the inter-model standard deviation.

The "Get Data" button above opens an Excel file containing data on seasonal wind changes, summer wind changes, summer surface temperature changes, and summer PSL changes for the areas of interest in a lat/lon grid.
