Description:"'Regional Climate Trends and Scenarios for the U.S. National Climate Assessment', published as NOAA Technical Report NESDIS 142 (TR142), consisted of a series of regional climate descriptions designed to provide input for use in the development of the Third National Climate Assessment (NCA3). In TR142 and NCA3, the Coupled-Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) Phase 3 (CMIP3) climate model simulations were used as the primary basis for climate scenarios. As part of a sustained assessment approach, it was intended that TR142 would be updated as new and well-vetted model results became available. Since then, the CMIP Phase 5 (CMIP5) model simulations have become available and analyzed in depth. The purpose of this report is to compare the CMIP3 results in TR142 with CMIP5 projections and to report on implications for the findings presented in NCA3"--Preface.
