1 Supplementary Figure S1: Uncertainty of runoff changes Assessments of R [mm/yr/k] for each model and the ensemble mean. 1

2 Supplementary Figure S2: Schematic diagrams of methods The top panels show uncertainty propagation. The bottom panels indicate our analysis methods. 2

3 Supplementary Figure S3: Expansion coefficients of SVD (a) Fraction of the squared Frobenius norm of the covariance matrix explained by the l-th pair of the R mode and the ( T, P ) mode. (b) The scatter plot of the expansion coefficients of the first R mode and the first ( T, P ) mode (normalised by the inter-model standard deviation). (c) The scatter plot of the expansion coefficients of the second R mode and the second ( T, P ) mode (normalised by the inter-model standard deviation). (d) Correlation coefficients between the expansion coefficients of the R mode and the ( T, P ) mode. 3

4 Supplementary Figure S4: Changes in horizontal and vertical winds Vectors represent the regressions between the expansion coefficient of the second R mode and changes in horizontal wind at the 85-hPa level [m/s/k]. The shading shows the regression map between the expansion coefficient of the second mode and changes in vertical pressure velocity at the 7-hPa level [1 3 Pa/s/K] (negative values indicate upward motions). R 4
