Estimation of Natural Variability and Detection of Anthropogenic Signal in Summertime Precipitation over South America

We use a coupled model to estimate the natural variability of summertime rainfall over South America and to determine the time horizon when anthropogenic forcing will start having an effect on it. We use a combination of three experiments: preindustrial, 20th century, and the projected changes under...
