A Quantitative Analysis of the Influence of Temperature Change on the Extreme Precipitation
As an essential part of the hydrological cycle, precipitation is usually associated with floods and droughts and is increasingly being paid attention to in the context of global warming.

Statistical Tests for Extreme Precipitation Volumes [PDF]
The analysis of the real observations of precipitation based on the novel statistical approach using the negative binomial distribution as a model for describing the random duration of a wet period is considered and discussed. The study shows that this distribution fits very well to the real observations and generalized standard methods used in ...

Precipitation Extremes and Water Vapor
AbstractPurpose of Review:Review our current understanding of how precipitation is related to its thermodynamic environment, i.e., the water vapor and temperature in the surroundings, and implications for changes in extremes in a warmer climate.Recent Findings:Multiple research threads have i) sought empirical relationships that govern onset of strong ...

Precipitation in a warming world: Assessing projected hydro-climate changes in California and other Mediterranean climate regions. [PDF]
In most Mediterranean climate (MedClim) regions around the world, global climate models (GCMs) consistently project drier futures. In California, however, projections of changes in annual precipitation are inconsistent. Analysis of daily precipitation in

Climatological features and trends of extreme precipitation during 1979–2012 in Beijing, China [PDF]
In this study, three kinds of hourly precipitation series with the spatial resolution of 0.1° are used to analyze the climatological features and trends of extreme precipitation during the period of 1979–2012 in Beijing, China. The results show that: (

Using a Gridded Global Dataset to Characterize Regional Hydroclimate in Central Chile [PDF]
Central Chile is facing dramatic projections of climate change, with a consensus for declining precipitation, negatively affecting hydropower generation and irrigated agriculture. Rising from sea level to 6000 m within a distance of 200 km, precipitation
