Future Environment Footnotes

1 Temperature and precipitation projections use time slices of 10-year intervals. Time slices are centered around a given decade (e.g, “the 2050s” time slice refers to the period from 2040 to 2069).

2 The 2100 temperature and precipitation projections do not encompass a range, but rather signify the estimated range of temperature and precipitation change in the year 2100.

3Middle range refers to 25th to 75th percentile of model-based outcomes; high end refers to 90th percentile of model-based outcomes.

4SLR projections use time slices of 10-year intervals. Time slices are centered around a given decade (e.g., “the 2050s” time slice refers to the period from 2040 to 2069). If the asset’s useful end of life falls between two time slices, use the later projection (e.g., a 2070 end of life should use the 2080s projection). Because the rate of SLR is increasing with every passing decade, selecting the preceding time slice may not accurately reflect true SLR risks.
