Clustering based on the 75th percentile of historical summer (JJA) precipitation rate for CMIP5 models over 1900-2005. 3 clusters are computed, based on the principal components explaining 80% of the variance. The 31 models are grouped in three different clusters. The green cluster is the most populated with 16 ensemble members mostly characterized by a positive anomaly over central-north Europe. The red cluster counts 12 elements that exhibit a negative anomaly centered over southern Europe. The third cluster – labelled in blue- includes only 4 models showing a north-south dipolar precipitation anomaly, with a wetter than average Mediterranean counteracting dryer North-Europe. Ensemble members No.9, No.26 and No.19 are the “specimen” of each cluster, i.e. the model simulations that better represent the main features of that cluster. These ensemble members can eventually be used as representative of the whole possible outcomes of the multi-model ensemble distribution associated to the 31 CMIP5 historical integrations for the summer precipitation rate 75 th percentile over Europe when these outcomes are reduced from 31 to 3. The number of ensemble members of each cluster might provide a measure of the probability of occurrence of each cluster.
