Human activities are responsible for recent observed global warming, and the Earth is becoming a warmer world. However, projections of future regional and continental scale climate change remain highly uncertain. This presents a serious challenge because predictions at these scales are most useful for governments, society and industry. The objective of this research program is to understand the physical processes that control regional climate change over North America and Europe, so that we can make more accurate predictions.

人类活动是最近观察到的全球变暖的原因，地球正在变得越来越温暖。 然而，对未来区域和大陆规模气候变化的预测仍然高度不确定。这是一个严峻的挑战，因为这些规模的预测对政府、社会和行业最有用。 该研究计划的目标是了解控制北美和欧洲区域气候变化的物理过程，以便我们能够做出更准确的预测。
