Where is regional cooling?

When we look at recent climate trends or model projections for future trends we tend to see over and over again that there are just two regions in the Northern Hemisphere where cooling is evident. The overwhelming majority of the hemisphere shows warming. These two cool regions include: the north Atlantic Ocean and the southeast U.S. Why?

About This Project

Previous research suggests that the Southeast U.S. experienced cooling temperatures since the beginning of the twentieth century. However, surface stations throughout the region are overwhelmingly placed in low-elevations less than 1000 meters above sea level. This ongoing research will summarize climate trends from high-elevation stations in the mountainous southern Appalachians, which will improve the accuracy of climate models, helping researchers and policy makers alike.
