TL;DR: There is a broad consensus among climate models that this region will dry in the 21st century and that the transition to a more arid climate should already be under way, and the levels of aridity of the recent multiyear drought or the Dust Bowl and the 1950s droughts will become the new climatology of the American Southwest within a time frame of years to decades.

TL;DR: This paper showed that there is a broad consensus among climate models that this region will dry in the 21st century and that the transition to a more arid climate should already be under way.

TL;DR: In this paper, a suite of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) twentieth-century coupled model simulations with multiple ensemble members and a signal-to-noise maximizing empirical orthogonal function analysis are used to identify a model-based estimate of the forced, anthropogenic component in NA SST variability.

TL;DR: In this article, a collection of initial-condition large ensembles (LEs) generated with seven Earth system models under historical and future radiative forcing scenarios provides new insights into uncertainties due to internal variability versus model differences.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of stationary wave theory for the deviations from zonal symmetry of the climate is provided, focusing exclusively on northern winter and several theoretical issues, including the external Rossby wave dispersion relation and vertical structure, critical latitude absorption, the nonlinear response to orography, and the interaction of forced wave trains with preexisting zonal asymmetries, are chosen for discussion.
