Climate: Due to its size, the USA experiences a wide range of climates, from arctic conditions in Alaska to tropical climates in Hawaii and Florida. The central part of the country has a continental climate with cold winters and hot summers, while the coastal areas often have milder and more...
Regional climate models can be used to examine how past weather events might unfold under different climate conditions by simulating analogue versions of those events with modified thermodynamic conditions (i.e., warming signals). Here, we apply this approach by dynamically downscaling a 40-year ...

Atmospheric conditions affect the release of anemophilous pollen, and the timing and magnitude will be altered by climate change. As simulated with a pollen emission model and future climate data, warmer end-of-century temperatures (4–6 K) shift the
States around this line, such as Maryland and Delaware, have a more northern climate, with cooler winters and less intense heat in the summer. Maryland and Delaware are also part of the Mid-Atlantic region. Agriculture has been the dominant industry in this area for a long time. Its good ...
Empirical generalized linear models of the largest fires (>5000 ha) across the contiguous United States (US) were developed at 60 km spatial and weekly temporal resolutions using solely atmospheric predictors. Climate-fire relationships on interannual timescales were evident, with wetter conditions than...
