This seminar will provide an overview of South Carolina’s climatic trends and variability over the last century. It is important that we better understand South Carolina’s climate in order to monitor the significance of the State’s climate signal and identify measurable trends. The presentation will provide an overview of how several climatic variables have behaved since the early 1990s. This will include the variability of the system on annual, seasonal and decadal scales and the use of threshold approaches to assess SC climate patterns.
