Figure-5.4: Projected snow cover fraction and sea ice concentration trends, 2020–2050

Projected terrestrial snow cover fraction and sea ice concentration seasonal trends (% per decade) for the 2020–2050 period for Canadian land and marine areas. Trends are calculated from the multi-model mean of an ensemble of climate models (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project – CMIP5), using a high emission scenario (RCP8.5). Stippling indicates statistical significance (there is only a 10% possibility that such changes are due to chance).
