Abstract:This study explores future changes in extreme precipitation across tropical America and Panama using 150‐year continuous experiments run on the Meteorological Research Institute atmospheric general circulation model at horizontal resolutions of 20 km (AGCM20) and 60 km (AGCM60). Tropical America is a warming hotspot where the mean seasonal precipitation amounts are decreasing, but annual maximum daily precipitation amounts are following an increasing trend. In Panama, future climates simulated using AGCM20 and… Show more
