Global and Continental Drought in the Second Half of the Twentieth Century: Severity–Area–Duration Analysis and Temporal Variability of Large-Scale Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using observation-driven simulations of global terrestrial hydrology and a cluster algorithm that searches for spatially connected regions of soil moisture, the authors identified 296 large-scale drought events (greater ...
Bias Correction of Historical and Future Simulations of Precipitation and Temperature for China from CMIP5 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ABSTRACTIn this study, the equidistant cumulative distribution function (EDCDF) quantile-based mapping method was used to develop bias-corrected and downscaled monthly precipitation and temperature for China at 0.5° ? 0.5° ...
Global Evaluation of the ISBA-TRIP Continental Hydrological System. Part I: Comparison to GRACE Terrestrial Water Storage Estimates and In Situ River Discharges
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In earth system models, the partitioning of precipitation among the variations of continental water storage, evapotranspiration, and freshwater runoff to the ocean has a major influence on the terrestrial water and energy ...
Using a Gridded Global Dataset to Characterize Regional Hydroclimate in Central Chile
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: entral Chile is facing dramatic projections of climate change, with a consensus for declining precipitation, negatively affecting hydropower generation and irrigated agriculture. Rising from sea level to 6000 m within a ...
Global Multimodel Analysis of Drought in Runoff for the Second Half of the Twentieth Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: uring the past decades large-scale models have been developed to simulate global and continental terrestrial water cycles. It is an open question whether these models are suitable to capture hydrological drought, in terms ...
The Observed State of the Water Cycle in the Early Twenty-First Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study quantifies mean annual and monthly fluxes of Earth?s water cycle over continents and ocean basins during the first decade of the millennium. To the extent possible, the flux estimates are based on satellite ...
The Observed State of the Energy Budget in the Early Twenty-First Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ew objectively balanced observation-based reconstructions of global and continental energy budgets and their seasonal variability are presented that span the golden decade of Earth-observing satellites at the start of the ...
