While water vapor increases tend to be governed by the Clausius-Clapeyron relationship to temperature, precipitation extreme changes are more complex and can increase more rapidly, particularly in the tropics. Progress may be aided by bringing separate research threads together and by casting theory in...
An IVT EFI example for storm Desmondin December 2015 highlights its potential to identify upcoming hydrometeorological extremes, which may prove useful to the user and forecasting communities.Evaluate the ECMWF Extreme Forecast Index (EFI) for water vapor transport (IVT) across Europe IVT EFI is ...
Changes of precipitation extremes in arid Central Asia. Quaternary International , 2017 , 436: 16 -27 Google Scholar [27] Wang H J, Chen Y N, Chen Z S. Spatial distribution and temporal trends of mean precipitation and extremes in the arid region, northwest of China, during 1960—20...
The formation of these events has traditionally been explained as being a consequence of the potential instability and water vapour content associated with the high heat and evaporation fluxes from the Mediterranean Sea, which in late summer can reach temperatures of 30 °C. However, different stu...
Water and energy cycles are linked to global warming through the water vapor feedback and heavy precipitation events are expected to intensify as the climate warms. For the mid-latitudes, extreme precipitation theory has been successful in explaining the observations, however, studies of responses in...
The thermodynamic contribution (attributable to increasing water vapor; assuming no change in vertical motion) approximately follows CC as expected, while vertical structure changes of moisture and diabatic heating lead to negative but secondary contributions to the sensitivity, reducing the rate of ...
When heatwaves occur, the moisture content in the air is high and the water vapor cannot condense due to the high temperature, resulting in the hysteresis of precipitation occurring after the heatwave. When there is a lag in precipitation, there is also a lag in the extreme runoff that is ...
In particular, WNPSH exerts remarkable impacts on precipitation in June and July in Jiang‐Huai region and precipitation in June in South China such as the Pearl River basin. The interannual variations of WNPSH exhibit significant correlations with water vapor flux in East Asia, and the ...
Compound heat stress and heavy precipitation events (CHPEs), characterized by extreme precipitation tightly preceded by heat stress, are among the most common and impactful compound extremes10,11. Accumulating evidence indicates that CHPEs have caused even more huge damage to life and the economy ...
Materials and methods Study area In this study, a change in the severity of increased extreme precipitation is investigated across CONUS. CONUS has diversities in climate zones, geomorphological features, and water vapor sources from the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Atlantic Ocean11....
