Projections of sea level change by the end of the century 80 40 -40 cm Figure 13.20: Ensemble mean net regional sea level change (m) evaluated from 21 CMIP5 models for the RCP scenarios (a) 2.6, (b) 4.5, (c) 6.0 and (d) 8.5 between 1986–2005 and 2081–2100. Each map includes effects of atmospheric loading, plus land-ice, GIA and terrestrial water sources. Figure 13.18: Ensemble mean regional contributions to sea level change (m) from (a) GIA, (b) glaciers and (c) ice sheet SMB. Panels (b) and (c) are based on information available from scenario RCP4.5. All panels represent changes between the periods 1986–2000 and 2081–2100. Figure 13.16: (a) Ensemble mean projection of the time-averaged dynamic and steric sea level changes for the period 2081–2100 relative to the reference period 1986–2005, computed from 21 CMIP5 climate models (in m), using the RCP4.5 experiment. The figure includes the globally averaged steric sea level increase of 0.18 ± 0.05 m. (b) RMS spread (deviation) of the individual model result around the ensemble mean (m). RCP4.5 IPCC AR5
