The American monsoon system in HadGEM3 and UKESM1 by J. L. García-Franco, L. J. Gray, L. J. Gray, S. Osprey, S. Osprey

“…The seasonal cycle of rainfall and general characteristics of the North American monsoon of all the simulations agree well with observations and reanalysis, showing a notable improvement from previous versions of the HadGEM model. The models reasonably simulate the bimodal regime of precipitation in southern Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean known as the midsummer drought, although with a stronger-than-observed difference between the two peaks of precipitation and the dry period. …”
