Precipitation-related indicators for seasonal precipiation, extreme precipiation, and drought have been generated for 8701 weather stations covering the entire United States, and for a 198x337 grid (on a resolution of 1/16 th degree) covering the South Central region from the future downscaled projections using the Asynchronous Regional Regression Model. The data covers the period from 1950 to 2100. The high-resolution future projections are statistically downscaled from simulations by 12 global climate models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (ACCESS1-0, ACCESS1-3, CCSM4, CMCC-CM, CNRM-CM5, CSIRO-Mk3.6.0, MPI-ESM-LR, HadGEM2-CC, INMCM4, IPSL-CM5A-LR, MIROC5 and MRI-CGCM under the lower Representative...

We evaluate the ability of global climate models participating in phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) to reproduce observed seasonality and interannual variability of temperature over the Caribbean, and compare these with simulations from atmosphere-only (AMIP5) and previous-generation CMIP3 models. Compared to station and gridded observations, nearly every CMIP5, CMIP3 and AMIP5 simulation tends to reproduce the primary inter-regional features of the Caribbean annual temperature cycle. In most coupled model simulations, however, boreal summer temperature lags observations by about 1 month, with a similar lag in the simulated annual cycle of sea surface temperature (SST), and a systematic...
Abstract (from http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00382-017-3534-z): Annual precipitation in the largely agricultural South-Central United States is characterized by a primary wet season in May and June, a mid-summer dry period in July and August, and a second precipitation peak in September and October. Of the 22 CMIP5 global climate models with sufficient output available, 16 are able to reproduce this bimodal distribution (we refer to these as “BM” models), while 6 have trouble simulating the mid-summer dry period, instead producing an extended wet season (“EW” models). In BM models, the timing and amplitude of the mid-summer westward extension of the North Atlantic Subtropical High (NASH) are realistic,...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
