Abstract
The North American Monsoon System (NAMS) is the large‐scale atmospheric circulation that results from complex ocean‐atmosphere‐land interactions. It strongly modulates the summer weather/climate over Mexico and the southwestern United States. From June to September, NAMS precipitation provides much‐needed water for the semi‐arid region, and is also the cause of frequent severe weather involving damaging winds, hail, lightning, and hydrological hazards, such as flash floods. In recent decades, the southwestern United States has experienced significant economic and population growth. Regional communities and agencies place strong demands on weather, climate, and hydrologic forecasters in an effort to better manage their water resources.
