“…The Northeast US (NEUS; all acronyms used in this paper are listed in Table S1 in Supporting Information S1), the most populated region in North America including the Boston to DC metro corridor area, has experienced the most rapid increase in the frequency of extreme precipitation in the US, especially since the mid-1990s (e.g., Brown et al, 2010;Crossett et al, 2023;DeGaetano, 2009;DeGaetano et al, 2020;Frei et al, 2015;Guilbert et al, 2015;Hoerling et al, 2016;Howarth et al, 2019;Huang, Patricola, Winter, et al, 2021;Huang et al, 2017Huang et al, , 2018Jong et al, 2023;Olafdottir et al, 2021). Extreme precipitation frequency over the NEUS, moreover, is projected to increase in the future warming climate (e.g., DeGaetano & Castellano, 2017;Hayhoe et al, 2007;Jong et al, 2023;Nazarian et al, 2022;Ning et al, 2015;Picard et al, 2023). In the face of warming climate and mounting threats from highimpact weather events such as extreme precipitation, long-term infrastructure development and planning depend on climate model future projections of these extreme events and their contributing meteorological processes.…”
