英文摘要: Precipitation changes between 32-yr periods in the late twentieth and mid-twenty-first centuriesare investigated using regional climatemodel simulations provided by theNorthAmerican Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP). The simulations generally indicate drier summers in the futureover most of Colorado and the border regions of the adjoining states. The decrease in precipitation occurs despite an increase in the surface specific humidity. The domain-averaged decrease in daily summer precipitation occurs in all of themodels from the 50th through the 95th percentile, but without aclear agreement on the sign of change for the most extreme (top 1% of) events. © 2013 American Meteorological Society.
