CMIP6 EnsMean change in JJAS a, d 3–5-day filtered temperature and meridional wind variance (t-v covariance) at 850 hPa, b, e sea level pressure and 850 hPa winds, and c, f vertical velocity. Mean change calculated between 2070–2099 and 1985–2014. Values under topography are masked with gray shading in (c, f). The mean vertical velocity change in the latitude-height cross-section in (c) is averaged between 15°W and 15°E. Hatching indicates grid points where at least 70% of GCMs agree on the sign of the change in EnsMean. Areas with statistically significant differences at the 95% level are marked with black stippling in (b, e).
