Roles of External Forcing and Internal Variability in Precipitation Changes of a Sub‐Region of the U.S. Mid‐Atlantic During 1979–2019

Abstract

A large fraction of coastal regions across the United States and around the world are densely populated. Accurate prediction and projection of precipitation changes in coastal regions is important for managing water that supports the populations and economies (Rosenzweig et al., 2002). Previous studies have identified increased precipitation across the northeastern U.S., which is a large densely populated coastal region (e.g.,
