The GEV analysis was performed with projections using the Weather Research and Forecasting model, downscaled from three Global Climate Models based on the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 for present, mid-century and late-century. Results show the VPD based index (SVDI) accurately identifies ...
If you're looking for a wild card that could shake up the Iowa caucuses, check the weather. Iowa has experienced a succession of brutal winter storms including heavy snow, high winds and seriously cold temperatures over the past week. The low for tonight in Des Moines is forecast to be ...
Fireline intensity is an important metric for understanding fire effects on vegetation, soil, and ecological processes, and it also informs wildfire response strategies [112,113]. Yet, wildfire simulations have been shown to underestimate fire intensity during severe fire weather events and so future ...
Climate risk is a function of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability, while disaster risk management focuses on reducing exposure and vulnerability to extreme weather events [15]. Analyzing heatwave exposure forms the basis for comprehending their impacts on human health and socio-economic domains. The ...
Weather Patterns Driving Atmospheric Rivers, Santa Ana Winds, Floods, and Wildfires During California Winters Provide Evidence for Increasing Fire Risk. Clim. Dyn. 2022. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] Garreaud, R.D.; Boisier, J.P.; Rondanelli, R.; Montecinos, A.; Sepúlveda, H.H.; Veloso-...

Wind and wave regimes are expected to be affected [16] by climate change, along with weather events becoming more extreme [17,18]. The global climate models (GCMs) from Phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) are a reliable source for the future ocean and atmospheric ...
