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

Atmospheric 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.

METEOROLOGICAL FEATURES OF EXTREME PRECIPITATION IN THE NORTHERN ADRIATIC [PDF]

, 2006
An investigation of extreme precipitation cases in the northern Adriatic area is discussed in this paper. The criterion chosen for an extreme event recognition is a measured daily precipitation amount exceeding 100 mm day-1.

Effects of extra-extreme precipitation variability on multi-year cumulative nitrous oxide emission in a semiarid grassland [PDF]

, 2023
High temporal precipitation variability, characterized by less frequent but larger-magnitude precipitation events, is increasing. However, how precipitation variability affects N2O emissions and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, especially at ...

Land‒atmosphere coupling effects of soil temperature and moisture on extreme precipitation in the arid regions of Northwest China

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
With global warming and more frequent extreme precipitation events in recent years, the phenomenon of warming and humidification in the arid regions of Northwest China (ANWC) has attracted increasing attention.

Evaluation of global climate models in simulating extreme precipitation in China

Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2013
Variations in extreme precipitation can be described by various indices. In order to evaluate a climate model's ability to simulate extreme precipitation, gridded extreme precipitation indices from observations are needed.

The importance of fronts for extreme precipitation [PDF]

Journal 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 synoptic drivers of extreme rainfall in South Africa [PDF]

, 2013
A number of studies have shown an increase in the intensity of extreme rainfall over many regions of South Africa during the last 50 to 100 years. However, the weather of a region at any given time is a direct function of the synoptic state of the ...
