Despite an increasing body of evidence that climate change is having a significant impact on different types of biogeophysical systems in the Midwest and Great Lakes region, there still remain critical questions of how quickly and how much climate will be altered over this region in the future. This study provides future daily temperature and precipitation at high resolution (1/16°) which can be used in many regional impact assessments, and also analyses the projected mean and extreme climate events.
