Boxplots of the percentage change in overall drought-event characteristics from the historical period 1950–2005 to the the future period 2056-95 derived from climate models downscaled by the MACA method assuming historical-standard stomatal resistance
The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) have evaluated projections of future droughts for south Florida based on climate model output from the Multivariate Adaptive Constructed Analogs (MACA) downscaled climate dataset from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). The MACA dataset includes both Representative Concentration Pathways 4.5 and 8.5 (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5).
A Portable Document Format (PDF) file is provided which presents boxplots of percentage change in overall drought-event characteristics based on 6-mo. and 12-mo. averaged balance anomaly timeseries derived from climate models downscaled by the MACA method assuming the historical-standard stomatal resistance (rs). Percentage change in overall cumulative drought-event characteristics from the historical period 1950–2005 to the the future period 2056-95 are provided as boxplots for four regions: (1) the entire South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), (2) the Lower West Coast (LWC) water supply region, (3) the Lower East Coast (LEC) water supply region, and (4) the Okeechobee plus (OKEE+) water supply meta-region consisting of Lake Okeechobee (OKEE), the Lower Kissimmee (LKISS), Upper Kissimmee (UKISS), and Upper East Coast (UEC) water supply regions in the SFWMD.
