Multi-model mean CMIP3 (lower emissions scenario) temperature projections were plotted for the southwest United States, for 2021-2050 relative to 1971-1999.

1. For each model at each grid point, the mean annual temperature under the lower emissions scenario (B1) was calculated. 2. For each model, these data were re-gridded to a common grid. 3. For each model at each grid point, the mean temperature under the lower emissions scenario (B1) was calculated for two periods: 1971-1999 and 2021-2050. 4. At each grid point, the mean temperature for the two periods was computed by averaging the following models: CCSM3, CGCM3.1 (T47), CNRM-CM3, CSIRO-Mk3.0, ECHAM5/MPI-OM, ECHO-G, GFDL-CM2.0, GFDL-CM2.1, INM-CM3.0, IPSL-CM4, MIROC3.2 (medres), MRI-CGCM2.3.2, PCM, UKMO-HadCM3, and UKMO-HadGEM1 5. At each grid point, the difference in projected temperature was calculated for 2021-2050 minus 1971-1999. 6. Data were plotted for grid points in the southwestern United States.

The duration of this activity was 100 hours.
