Causes of change in Northern Hemisphere winter meridional winds and regional hydroclimate

Improved mechanistic understanding of greenhouse gas-induced change in Northern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation reveals a tendency of models to overestimate future mid-winter rainfall along the North American west coast.
