Abstract: AbstractThe question of when the influence of climate change on U.K. rainfall extremes may be detected is important from a planning perspective, providing a time scale for necessary climate change adaptation measures. ...

Abstract: AbstractSix weather types (WTs) are computed for tropical Australia during the wet season (November?March 1979?2015) using cluster analysis of 6-hourly low-level winds at 850 hPa. The WTs may be interpreted as a varying ...

Abstract: AbstractMidlatitude extreme precipitation events are caused by well-understood meteorological drivers, such as vertical instability and low pressure systems. In principle, dynamical weather and climate models behave in the ...

Abstract: AbstractData paucity is a severe barrier to the characterization of Himalayan near-surface climates. Regional climate modeling can help to fill this gap, but the resulting data products need critical evaluation before use. ...

Abstract: xtreme value theory is used as a diagnostic for two high-resolution (12-km parameterized convection and 1.5-km explicit convection) Met Office regional climate model (RCM) simulations. On subdaily time scales, the 12-km ...

Abstract: egional climate projections are used in a wide range of impact studies, from assessing future flood risk to climate change impacts on food and energy production. These model projections are typically at 12?50-km resolution, ...

Abstract: nderstanding observed changes to the global water cycle is key to predicting future climate changes and their impacts. While many datasets document crucial variables such as precipitation, ocean salinity, runoff, and ...
