Climatic and oceanic associations with daily rainfall extremes over southern Africa [PDF]

, 2006
Changes in climate variability and, in particular, changes in extreme climate events are likely to be of far more significance for environmentally vulnerable regions than changes in the mean state.

Climate change and spatio-temporal trend analysis of climate extremes in the homogeneous climatic zones of Pakistan during 1962-2019

PLoS ONE, 2022
Climate extremes, such as heat waves, droughts, extreme rainfall can lead to harvest failures, flooding and consequently threaten the food security worldwide.

Artificial intelligence reveals past climate extremes by reconstructing historical records. [PDF]

Nat Commun
The understanding of recent climate extremes and the characterization of climate risk require examining these extremes within a historical context. However, the existing datasets of observed extremes generally exhibit spatial gaps and inaccuracies due to

The Impact of Climate on Hydrological Extremes [PDF]

Water, 2018
High and low flows and associated floods and droughts are extreme hydrological phenomena mainly caused by meteorological anomalies and modified by catchment processes and human activities. They exert increasing on human, economic, and natural environmental systems around the world.

Biotic responses to climate extremes in terrestrial ecosystems

iScience, 2022
Summary Anthropogenic climate change is increasing the incidence of climate extremes. Consequences of climate extremes on biodiversity can be highly detrimental, yet few studies also suggest beneficial effects of climate extremes on certain organisms. To

Changes in Climate Extremes and Their Effect on Maize (Zea mays L.) Suitability Over Southern Africa

Frontiers in Climate, 2022
Southern Africa has been identified as one of the hotspot areas of climate extremes increasing, at the same time many communities in the region are dependent on rain-fed agriculture, which is vulnerable to these rainfall and temperature extremes. The aim

Robust assessment of future changes in extreme precipitation over the Rhine basin using a GCM [PDF]

, 2011
Estimates of future changes in extremes of multiday precipitation sums are critical for estimates of future discharge extremes of large river basins. Here we use a large ensemble of global climate model SRES A1b scenario simulations to estimate changes ...

Climate Extremes and the Length of Gestation

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2011
Although future climate is predicted to have more extreme heat conditions, the available evidence on the impact of these conditions on pregnancy length is very scarce and inconclusive.We investigated the impact of maternal short-term exposure to extreme ambient heat on the length of pregnancy.This study was based on a cohort of births that occurred in ...

Aerosols overtake greenhouse gases causing a warmer climate and more weather extremes toward carbon neutrality

Nature Communications, 2023
To mitigate climate warming, many countries have committed to achieve carbon neutrality in the mid-21st century. Here, we assess the global impacts of changing greenhouse gases (GHGs), aerosols, and tropospheric ozone (O3) following a carbon neutrality ...
