weather recordsMonitoring extreme precipitation records (EPRs), that is, the most extreme precipitation events, is a challenge in Antarctica due to the reduced number of stations available in the continent and the limitations of the instrumentation for measuring solid precipitation. Still, extreme ...
The intensification of extreme precipitation under anthropogenic forcing is robustly projected by global climate models, but highly challenging to detect in the observational record. Large internal variability distorts this anthropogenic signal. Models produce diverse magnitudes of precipitation response to anth...
Under global warming, climate models generally project a decline in precipitation amounts in much of the dry subtropics11,12, while the intensities of the most severe precipitation extremes are anticipated to increase13,14,15,16, exacerbating the dual impacts of precipitation in these regions. Howev...
Trends in extreme precipitation indices derived from a daily rainfall database for the South of Portugal The rainfall regime of the South of Portugal is Mediterranean with Atlantic influence. Long-term series of reliable precipitation records are essential for... AC Costa,A Soares - 《International...
The global analysis carried out by Perkins-Kirkpatrick and Lewis [7] showed for the period 1951–2017 a significant increase in yearly values of heatwave days, maximum heatwave duration and cumulative heat, while the global heatwave intensity trends are not significant. Precipitation extremes also ...
precipitation patterns and is forced by perturbations in these fields scaled to the NGRIP δ18O record and eustatic sea-level change (Fig.1). The key variables of ice thickness, thermal structure, internal deformation, basal motion and meltwater production are integrated in discrete time-steps ...
The work, published in the journalScience, shows that, though extreme precipitation events can greatly increase the amount of water traveling through a river, large storms only move about 50 percent more sediment than a typical rainfall. The overall contribution of these intense rainfalls to erosion...
Also, according to the IPCC report, precipitation levels will suffer an increase at high latitudes, as well as a decrease over subtropical areas (Shared Economic Pathway scenarios SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5). An increase in the intensity and frequency of heatwaves and droughts is also...
Climate extremes are likely boosting fire activity in Central Chile (30°–39° S). The loss of precipitations observed during the last four decades21,22 has been worsened by intense heatwaves23,24, which have favored large and high-intensity wildfires in Central Chile. Over 90% of the wild...
