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

Predictability and dynamics of potential vorticity streamers and connections to high impact weather [PDF]
, 2012 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

Downscaling precipitation extremes [PDF]
Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2009 A new method for predicting the upper tail of the precipitation distribution, based on empirical–statistical downscaling, is explored. The proposed downscaling method involves a re-calibration of the results from an analog model to ensure that the results have a realistic statistical distribution.

Precipitation Extremes Under Climate Change [PDF]
Current Climate Change Reports, 2015 The response of precipitation extremes to climate change is considered using results from theory, modeling, and observations, with a focus on the physical factors that control the response. Observations and simulations with climate models show that precipitation extremes intensify in response to a warming climate.

Does non-stationarity of extreme precipitation exist in the Poyang Lake Basin of China?
Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2021 Study region: Poyang Lake Basin, China. Study focus: This study aimed to investigate whether there are non-stationary characteristics of extreme precipitation in the Poyang Lake Basin (PLB) of China, and the trends of non-stationary characteristics from ...
