Figure 6. Mean projected changes of the heating rate (HRc, ºC·day-1), measured from the onset of a continuous event to annual peak HS, by the end of 21st century (2071-2100) relative to the historical period (1985-2014). The mean states from the first to last columns are simulations by GFDL-ESM4, CESM2-WACCM and MRI-ESM2 and those from the first to last rows refer to the simulations under SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0 scenarios, respectively.
