Notes

Abstract:
This book is based on a technical report the National Climate Assessment (NCA) document that was prepared for submission to the President of the United States and the United States Congress in 2013. That document summarized the scientific literature with respect to climate impacts on the Southeast (SE) USA, in particular the literature that has been published since the 2004 National Climate Assessment. A national assessment was produced in 2009; however, no technical report was developed in support of that document. For the US National Climate Assessment 2013, the Southeast region includes 11 southern states to the east of the Mississippi River (Figure 1.1), Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. This region differs slightly from the previous National Climate Assessment in that it follows state borders and does not include the Gulf Coast of Texas.
