Extreme Arctic cyclones in CMIP5 historical simulations [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2013 AbstractIncreasing attention is being paid to extreme weather, including recent high‐profile events involving very destructive cyclones. In summer 2012, a historically powerful cyclone traversed the Arctic, a region experiencing rapid warming and dramatic loss of ice and snow cover.

Precipitation Extremes in CMIP5 Simulations on Different Time Scales [PDF]
Journal of Hydrometeorology, 2013 AbstractPrecipitation maxima in global climate model (GCM) simulations are compared with observations in terms of resolution dependence and climate change. The analysis shows the following results: (i) the observed scaling law relating precipitation maxima to duration is basically reproduced but exhibits resolution dependence, (ii) the intensity of ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract Convection‐permitting dynamical downscaling (CPDD) allows for an explicit representation of the convective storms that generate tornadoes, hail, severe thunderstorm winds, and locally heavy precipitation. Possible changes in such hazardous convective weather (HCW) due to human‐induced climate change are therefore projected with higher ...

Underestimating Internal Variability Leads to Narrow Estimates of Climate System Properties [PDF]
, 2019 Probabilistic estimates of climate system properties often rely on the comparison of model simulations to observed temperature records and an estimate of the internal climate variability.

Saharan Heat Low Biases in CMIP5 Models
Journal of Climate, 2017 Representing the West African monsoon (WAM) is a major challenge in climate modeling because of the complex interaction between local and large-scale mechanisms. This study focuses on the representation of a key aspect of West African climate, namely the Saharan heat low (SHL), in 22 global climate models from phase 5 of the Coupled Model ...

Systematic land climate and evapotranspiration biases in CMIP5 simulations [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2014 Land climate is important for human population since it affects inhabited areas. Here we evaluate the realism of simulated evapotranspiration (ET), precipitation, and temperature in the CMIP5 multimodel ensemble on continental areas. For ET, a newly compiled synthesis data set prepared within the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment‐sponsored ...

Zone Matcher: A climate‐based web application for deployment and assisted migration of forest trees
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Populations of forest trees are generally adapted to the climates they inhabit. The farther trees are moved from their local climates, the more long‐term growth and survival tend to decrease. Current tree deployment and assisted migration rely on “climate distance thresholds” (CDTs), which are climatic distances beyond which tree performance ...

The impact of Arctic sea ice loss on mid-Holocene climate. [PDF]
, 2018 Mid-Holocene climate was characterized by strong summer solar heating that decreased Arctic sea ice cover. Motivated by recent studies identifying Arctic sea ice loss as a key driver of future climate change, we separate the influences of Arctic sea ice ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Inner Mongolia, situated in an arid and semiarid region, is characterized by a fragile ecological environment heavily impacted by frequent and intense droughts. The accurate assessment of ecological drought and identification of its drivers are crucial for drought disaster management in this area.
