The Impact of Extreme Hydro-Meteorological Events in the Yellow River Basin of Inner Mongolia on Vegetation Cover [PDF]

open access: yesGaoyuan qixiang
The stability of the ecosystem of the Yellow River Basin in Inner Mongolia is seriously threatened under the double pressure of climate change and extreme events.In view of this, this paper selects precipitation and vapour pressure deficit as indicators ...

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 ...

Dynamic amplification of extreme precipitation sensitivity

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018
Significance Changes in precipitation extremes under climate change are subject to substantial uncertainty. Atmospheric moisture increases alone would make extreme rain events heavier at a well-understood rate of ∼ 7 %

Can current moisture responses predict soil CO2 efflux under altered precipitation regimes?: a synthesis of manipulation experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
As a key component of the carbon cycle, soil CO2 efflux (SCE) is being increasingly studied to improve our mechanistic understanding of this important carbon flux. Predicting ecosystem responses to climate change often depends on extrapolation of current

Anticipating cascading effects of extreme precipitation with pathway schemes: three case studies from Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Extreme precipitation events with high local precipitation intensities, heavy snowfall or extensive freezing rain can have devastating impacts on society and economy. Not only is the quantitative forecast of such events sometimes difficult and associated

Characterizing Long Island’s Extreme Precipitation and Its Relationship to Tropical Cyclones

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2022
Since extreme precipitation impacts society on small scales (i.e., a few kilometers and smaller, it is worthwhile to explore extreme precipitation trends in localized regions, such as Long Island (LI), New York.

Clustering of Regional-Scale Extreme Precipitation Events in Southern Switzerland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Temporal clustering of extreme precipitation events on sub-seasonal time-scales is of crucial importance for the formation of large-scale flood events. Here, the temporal clustering of regional-scale extreme precipitation events in southern Switzerland ...
