Slow and fast response of mean and extreme precipitation to different forcing in CMIP5 simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We are investigating the fast and slow responses of changes in mean and extreme precipitation to different climate forcing mechanisms, such as greenhouse gas and solar forcing, to understand whether rapid adjustments are important for extreme ...

Multi-Scale Mechanisms of Heavy Rainfall Event over North China: Nocturnal Low-Level Jet Intensification and Afternoon Synoptic Forcing

open access: yesAtmosphere
This study investigates the multi-scale processes associated with one type of typical heavy rainfall event in North China, focusing on the interplay among synoptic circulation, mesoscale dynamics, and topographic influences.

The importance of fronts for extreme precipitation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2013
Extratropical cyclones and their associated frontal systems are well known to be related to heavy precipitation events. Here an objective method is used to directly link extreme precipitation events with atmospheric fronts, identified using European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts Interim Reanalysis data, to quantify the importance of fronts ...

The Contribution of Extreme Precipitation to the Total Precipitation in China [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters, 2012
AbstractUsing daily precipitation data from weather stations in China, the variations in the contribution of extreme precipitation to the total precipitation are analyzed. It is found that extreme precipitation accounts for approximately one third of the total precipitation based on the overall mean for China.

Morphological Characteristics of Mesoscale Convective Systems Formed in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River Basin and Their Evolution Patterns

open access: yesAtmospheric Science Letters
Based on the extent and eccentricity characteristics, mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) formed in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River Basin were classified into six subtypes: large circular (LC), large elongated (LE), medium circular (MC), medium ...

Temporal and spatial variations in maximum river discharge from a new Russian data set [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Floods cause more damage in Russia than any other natural disaster, and future climate model projections suggest that the frequency and magnitude of extreme hydrological events will increase in Russia with climate change.

Precipitation Extremes and Water Vapor

open access: yesCurrent Climate Change Reports, 2022
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 ...

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

The sensitivity of oceanic precipitation to sea surface temperature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Our study forms the oceanic counterpart to numerous observational studies over land concerning the sensitivity of extreme precipitation to a change in air temperature.

Safety of Prescription Nonsteroidal Anti‐inflammatory Drugs in Adults With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Data From a Large Administrative Claims Cohort

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The concern that nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may precipitate flares of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has limited their use in managing musculoskeletal symptoms in those with IBD, but safety data are mixed. Methods This retrospective cohort study included patients with IBD aged at least 18 years from Optum's deidentified ...
