Pattern change of precipitation extremes in Svalbard
Abstract Besides global attention on extreme precipitation, a limited research has been done in the Arctic due to constraints of data availability. In this backdrop, we attempt to analyze extreme precipitation events at three Arctic stations (Bjørnøya, Ny-Ålesund, and Svalbard Lufthavn) in Svalbard using extreme value theory.

Predictability and dynamics of potential vorticity streamers and connections to high impact weather [PDF]
Narrow potential vorticity (PV) intrusions across the tropopause (PV streamers) are interconnected with surface high- and low- pressure systems and frequently present during high-impact weather in the mid-latitudes. They often form during the breaking of

Rainfall trends in India and their impact on soil erosion and land management [PDF]
Under the threat of global warming it is vital to determine the impact that future changes in climate may have on the environment and to what extent any adverse effects can be mitigated.

Trends in mean and extreme precipitation in the Mount Kenya region from observations and reanalyses [PDF]
Land and water management in semi-arid regions requires detailed information on precipitation distribution, including extremes, and changes therein. Such information is often lacking. This paper describes statistics of mean and extreme precipitation in a

Evaluation of snow cover and depth simulated by a land-surface model using detailed regional snow observations from Austria [PDF]
An evaluation is undertaken of the accuracy with which the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) can simulate snow cover and depth when driven using data from the Hadley Centre Regional Climate Model.
