Figure 2 Seasonal variation of tropical a water vapor at 70 hPa and b temperature at 100 hPa during 1980-2005. The black dotted line represents ERA-Interim and the thick black line denotes the ensemble mean of the CCMs. The gray shaded area indicates #cod#x000b1;1 standard deviation of the ensemble mean. The data in the table to the right of the figure panels show the correlation coefficients between 70 hPa water vapor and 100 hPa temperature. The single #cod#x0002A; and double #cod#x0002A;#cod#x0002A; asterisks indicate statistically at the 95% and 99% confidence levels, respectively.
