To test the consistency of the REA ensembles at different scales, one ensemble was area-averaged at regional scale and two were obtained at 50-km gridpoints. Climatic metrics of temperature and precipitation during the baseline period served to evaluate the performance of the GCMs and the ensembles in the North American monsoon (NAM)and the mid-summer drought (MSD)regions. The metrics of the three REA ensembles are very similar among them in each region and show a better performance than the unweighted multi-model ensemble (U-MME). The majority of the GCMs overestimate winter precipitation in the NAM and fail to retract the end of the monsoon in autumn; REA ensembles reduce this overestimation. All ensembles capture well the MSD's double peak of rainfall, but underestimate summer precipitation. According to all ensembles, temperature increases of 1.5-2 °C in the two regions may be reached between 2035 and 2055 relative to the baseline, and by 2070-2099 temperature (precipitation)in Mexico may increase (decrease)between 2° C (5 percent)and 5.8 °C (10 percent)in the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios, respectively. Annual changes of precipitation show a north (positive)and south of 35°N (negative)pattern. The largest impacts are expected during summer with a possible decrease of ~13 percent (up to ?1.5 mm/day), especially in southern Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, while autumn precipitation may slightly increase. Future projections from the REA Xu (by gridpoint)ensemble show spatial patterns similar to the U-MME, but with more regional detail, which could be an added value for regional climate impact studies.14aCLIMATE CHANGE14aCMIP514aMEXICO14aMONSOON14aMSD14aPROJECTIONS14aREA14aWEIGHTED ENSEMBLES12aColorado-Ruiz, G.12aCavazos, T.12aSalinas, J.
