Type W3 states are located along the West Coast, including California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. This type of warming is characterized by a greater increase in higher temperatures than in lower temperatures, resulting in a positive trend in the iqr. This pattern corresponds to the West and parts of the Northwest climate zones.
In contrast, Type W2, characterized by a larger increase in lower quantiles relative to higher quantiles and a negative trend in the iqr, is primarily found in the Central North region, roughly corresponding to the Northern Rockies and Plains West NW Central area. This includes states such as Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, and North and South Dakota.
Finally, states in the Type W1 category, located in the Upper Midwest (East North Central), parts of the Northwest, and the Northeast, exhibit similar trends across all quantiles, with no statistically significant trend observed in the iqr.
