Appendix E E-35Subwatershed 19 Case Study Figure 5-5: Monthly total precipitation for nine future climates compared to the current climate. Figure 5-6: Mean annual meteorological parameters for current and SDSM future climates.Figure 5-7 and 5-8 show the monthly average air temperature and precipitation for the two SDSM climates and thetwo associated GCM climates, as compared to the current conditions. The same general patterns are seen here aswith the nine Percentile Method climates, i.e., relative consistency across the months for air temperature with higherwinter changes and a high degree of variability with precipitation.
