Figure 11: The percentage of precipitation change required to offset the
effect of warming by 1-5°C on peak snow water equivalent (SWE) or mean
annual runoff. NA is assigned to cases where the amount of precipitation
required to offset the air temperature increase is greater than the
increased precipitation projected by RCP scenarios and NARCCAP
simulations (red horizontal lines) forced with the SRES A2 scenario
(business-as-usual) for the period 2041-2070.
