Excerpt

To paraphrase former Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill,“All climate change is local”—that is, society reacts most immediately to changes in local weather such as regional heat waves and heavy rainstorms. Such phenomena are not well resolved by the current generation of coupled climate models. Here it is shown that dynamical downscaling of climate reanalyses using a high‐resolution regional model can reproduce both the means and extremes of temperature and precipitation as observed in the well‐measured northeastern United States …
