For the period from 2011 to 2100, a range of results is shown for each climate scenario (RCP). The range results from the climate scenario, the different regional climate models and the selection of time periods of 10 or 30 years.
For the two different time periods, the simulated results are arranged by size and statistical percentages of probabilities are calculated (percentiles). The 10 percent percentile indicates the line where ten percent of the results are equal to or below and 90 percent above. It thus represents a low calculated value. The 50% percentile represents the line where 50% of the results are equal to or below and 50% above. It thus corresponds to the average calculated value. The 90 % percentile indicates a high calculated value, because 90 % of the calculated values are equal to or smaller than this.
The x-axis in this graph is the time axis over the period from 1900 to 2100. The y-axis shows the values of the selected parameter in the respective unit, i.e. °C for temperature, mm for precipitation, etc.
Up to and including 2010, the results in the graph are based on observational data from weather stations. Three lines are displayed for the period from 2011 to 2100. The upper line shows the low simulation results of the 10 or 30 year segments (10 % percentiles). The middle line represents the average calculated values (50 % percentiles). The upper line shows high calculated values (90% percentiles). For the representation 10 or 30 annual mean values are formed (in the selection menu 10 or 30 years).
In contrast to the line chart, the values are displayed in column form.
In turn, three result values are displayed for each 10 or 30 year segment. The blue columns show the average calculated values (50 % percentile values). The lower ends of the black lines represent low values (10 % percentile values) and the upper ends show high result values (90 % percentiles). For the representation, 10- or 30-yearly mean values are formed (in the selection menu 10- or 30-yearly).
The y-axis shows the values of the selected parameter in the respective unit, i.e. °C for temperature, mm for precipitation, etc.
The x-axis in these two chart types shows an average monthly series from January to December, as an average over the specified period.
The climate diagram allows a quick and rough estimation of the local heat and humidity conditions. The average monthly temperature [in °C] is compared with the average precipitation [in mm] of the county under consideration in the course of the year. Statements can be made about the present climate regime: Humidity - the precipitation bars lie above the temperature curve; aridity - the temperature curve lies above the precipitation bars; continuity - precipitation and temperature intersect.
The monthly chart shows the monthly differences for the photovoltaic potential. This shows the varying intensity of solar radiation in each month.
