It analyzes weather observations over the past century and satellite measurements of the last few decades to develop a picture of more recent climatic trends. It explains how global climate models are used to simulate and project climate, and presents the application of these models to reproduce recent climate variations and predict future North American climate. It answers the critical question of whether observed climate change is due to natural variations or human activity.  .Regional Climate Studies,1862-0248Atmospheric sciencesClimate changePhysical geographyAtmospheric Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G36000Climate Changehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007Physical Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16000Atmospheric sciences.Climate change.Physical geography.Atmospheric Sciences.Climate Change.Physical Geography.551.697Ohring Georgeedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298370903321Climate Change in North America2519990UNINA
