Climate Dynamics: A Network-Based Approach for the Analysis of Global Precipitation [PDF]
, 2013 Precipitation is one of the most important meteorological variables for defining the climate dynamics, but the spatial patterns of precipitation have not been fully investigated yet. The complex network theory, which provides a robust tool to investigate

Cut-Off Lows and Extreme Precipitation in Eastern Spain: Current and Future Climate
Atmosphere, 2021 This study presents a seasonal synoptic climatology of cut-off lows (COLs) that produced extreme precipitation in the Valencia region of Spain during 1998–2018 and uses simulations with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to study how ...

Simulating multimodal seasonality in extreme daily precipitation occurrence [PDF]
, 2016 Floods pose multi-dimensional hazards to critical infrastructure and society and these hazards may increase under climate change. While flood conditions are dependent on catchment type and soil conditions, seasonal precipitation extremes also play an ...

Errors in climate model daily precipitation and temperature output: time invariance and implications for bias correction [PDF]
, 2013 When correcting for biases in general circulation model (GCM) output, for example when statistically downscaling for regional and local impacts studies, a common assumption is that the GCM biases can be characterized by comparing model simulations and ...

Local likelihood estimation of complex tail dependence structures, applied to U.S. precipitation extremes [PDF]
, 2019 To disentangle the complex non-stationary dependence structure of precipitation extremes over the entire contiguous U.S., we propose a flexible local approach based on factor copula models. Our sub-asymptotic spatial modeling framework yields non-trivial
