In the United States, the North American Monsoon (NAM) is the main driver of weather severe. How the monsoon has behaved and how it will change in the future are questions I addressed in this dissertation. First, a network of tree-ring chronologies is evaluated to describe NAM variability over four centuries. The network shows a low frequency variability in summer precipitation. This low frequency variability appears to be part of multi-year droughts. Second, we consider climate variability identified with tree rings to assess the uncertainty in climate change projections from the models used in the NARCCAP project. The climate projection is evaluated on its ability to represent quasi-stationary summer Rossby wave trains linked to El Niño. Finally, the low-frequency drought signal from a climate model is explored. Statistical analysis suggests that the low-frequency drought signal in the NAM is driven by changes in atmospheric circulation from global to continental scales. Therefore, low-frequency climate variability is probably responsible for the multiannual droughts in the last four centuries.
