a–d Spatial pattern of annual mean precipitation change in 2080–2099 with respect to 1984–2003 for the RCP8.5 scenario, scaled by the globally annual averaged temperature change in each model (% K–1). Full ensembles of a the HF members (HFAll) and b the CMIP5 AOGCMs (CMIP5RCP8.5_All), and the subsets of CMIP5RCP8.5_All c with the 12 highest skill scores for global precipitation (CMIP5GhighS) and d with the 12 smallest MAE in global precipitation (CMIP5GsmallE). Crosshatched (hatched) areas in (a–d) indicate areas where changes are insignificant at the 33% (10%) level. e–g Precipitation change with HFAll but for the grids with the opposite sign of the change between the ensemble means of HFAll and of e CMIP5RCP8.5_All, f CMIP5GhighS, and g CMIP5GsmallE (% K–1). h–j Difference of the ensemble mean of precipitation changes from HFAll with respect to that from (h) CMIP5RCP8.5_All, i CMIP5GhighS, and j CMIP5GsmallE (% K–1)
