Storylines of atmospheric circulation change, or physically self-consistent narratives of
plausible future events, have recently been proposed as a non-probabilistic means to …

Stagnant atmospheric conditions can lead to hazardous air quality by allowing ozone and
particulate matter to accumulate and persist in the near-surface environment. By changing …

Air pollution is a major environmental threat to human health. Pollutants can reach extreme
levels in the lower atmosphere when weather conditions permit. As pollutant concentrations …

As evidence of climate change strengthens, knowledge of its regional implications becomes
an urgent need for decision making. Current understanding of regional precipitation …

The build-up of pollutants to harmful levels can occur when meteorological conditions favour
their production or accumulation near the surface. Such conditions can arise when a region …

Climate change during the twenty-first century has the potential to substantially alter
geographic patterns of precipitation. However, regional precipitation changes can be very …

What: The North American Coordinated Regional climate Downscaling Experiment
(NACORDEX) in partnership with Ouranos, the National Center for Atmospheric Research …

Estimating the impact of climate change and emission scenarios on air pollution can be
done using regional climate models (RCMs). Climate uncertainties are commonly estimated …

Poor air quality causes an estimated 2.6–4.4 million premature deaths per year,,. Hazardous
conditions form when meteorological components allow the accumulation of pollutants in the …

Abstract Purpose of Review Atmospheric circulation exerts a strong control on regional
climate and extremes. However, projections of future circulation change remain uncertain …
