Constraining extreme precipitation projections using past precipitation variability [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 This study finds that projections of future extreme precipitation can be made more reliable using a constraint from observed present-day precipitation variability, which reduces projection uncertainty by 20–40% over the extra-tropics.

WIREs Water, 2022 AbstractThe effect of increased populations concentrated in urban areas, coupled with the ongoing threat of climate change, means that society is becoming increasingly vulnerable to the effects of extreme precipitation. The study of these events is therefore a key topic in climate research, in their physical basis, in the study of their impacts, and in

Skilful nowcasting of extreme precipitation with NowcastNet. [PDF]
Nature, 2023 A new nowcasting model unifies physical-evolution schemes and deep-learning methods to accurately predict precipitation with lead times of up to 3 h, including extreme-precipitation events and weather systems that were previously considered intractable ...

Extreme precipitation records in Antarctica
International Journal of Climatology, 2023 AbstractMonitoring extreme precipitation records (EPRs), that is, the most extreme precipitation events, is a challenge in Antarctica due to the reduced number of stations available in the continent and the limitations of the instrumentation for measuring solid precipitation.

Variation characteristics and the impact of urbanization of extreme precipitation in Shanghai [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 With the rapid development of urbanization, the characteristics of extreme precipitation in urban areas have changed significantly. Revealing the spatial and temporal distribution of extreme precipitation under changing environment is the basis of ...

The Precipitation‐Recycling Process Enhanced Extreme Precipitation in Xinjiang, China
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The amount, frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation over Xinjiang have increased dramatically under the wetting trend in Northwest China, but long‐term trends in the precipitation‐recycling process remain largely unexplored.

Nonstationary extreme precipitation in Brazil
Hydrological Sciences Journal, 2022 This study provides the first estimates of the frequency distribution of observational and future maximum daily precipitation considering nonstationarity for the entire Brazilian territory. We assess observational data from 1980 to 2015 and projected data from 2020 to 2099 for two climate change scenarios and four downscaled climate models. We modelled

Revisiting future extreme precipitation trends in the Mediterranean.
Weather Clim Extrem, 2021 Global warming is anticipated to intensify the hydrological cycle. However, this is neither expected to be globally uniform nor is the relationship between temperature increase and rainfall intensities expected to be linear.
