Robustness of Anthropogenically Forced Decadal Precipitation Changes Projected for the 21st Century
Description: Precipitation is characterized by substantial natural variability, including on regional and decadal scales. This relatively large variability poses a grand challenge in assessing the significance of anthropogenically forced precipitation changes. The authors of this article use multiple large ensembles of climate change experiments to evaluate whether, on regional scales, anthropogenic changes in decadal precipitation mean state (i.e., ensemble average) are distinguishable - i.e., outside the range expected from natural variability.
