Application of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for the Detection of Extreme Precipitation Change [PDF]

open access: yesForests, 2021
Remote sensing has frequently been employed to monitor extreme climatic events, especially droughts, by identifying the anomalies of vegetation activity from the regional to global scale. However, limited research has addressed the performance of remote sensing on detecting extreme precipitation events.

ECMWF Extreme Forecast Index for water vapor transport: A forecast tool for atmospheric rivers and extreme precipitation [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2016
AbstractIn winter, heavy precipitation and floods along the west coasts of midlatitude continents are largely caused by intense water vapor transport (integrated vapor transport (IVT)) within the atmospheric river of extratropical cyclones. This study builds on previous findings that showed that forecasts of IVT have higher predictability than ...

Contribution of the Northeast Cold Vortex Index and Multiscale Synergistic Indices to Extreme Precipitation Over Northeast China [PDF]

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2021
AbstractThe northeast cold vortex (NECV) is one of the major synoptic systems affecting Northeast China. The activity of NECV is an important reason for severe convective storms. However, research on extreme precipitation over Northeast China and their associations with the northeast cold vortex index (NECVI) is limited.

Capability of GPM IMERG Products for Extreme Precipitation Analysis over the Indonesian Maritime Continent [PDF]

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Integrated Multi-satellite Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) data have been widely used to analyze extreme precipitation, but the data have never been validated for the Indonesian Maritime Continent (IMC). This study evaluated the capability of IMERG Early (E),

Assessing the Impacts of Extreme Precipitation Change on Vegetation Activity

open access: yesAgriculture, 2021
Extreme climate events frequently have more severe effects on terrestrial vegetation activity than long-term changes in climate averages. However, changes in extreme climate events as well as their potential risk on vegetation activity are still poorly ...

Calibration and Quantitative Forecast of Extreme Daily Precipitation Using the Extreme Forecast Index (EFI)

open access: yesJournal of Geoscience and Environment Protection, 2018
Based on the extreme forecast index (EFI) of ECMWF, the “observed” EFI (OEFI) of observation is defined and the EFI is calibrated. Then the EFI equivalent percentile (EFIEP) and EFI equivalent quantile (EFIEQ) are designed to forecast the daily extreme precipitation quantitatively.

Spatial Variation and Trend of Extreme Precipitation in West Africa and Teleconnections with Remote Indices

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2020
Extreme precipitation is a great concern for West Africa country, as it has serious consequence on key socio-economic activities. We use high resolution data from the Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation Stations (CHIRPS) to determine the spatial

Regional extreme precipitation index: Evaluations and projections from the multi-model ensemble CMIP5 over Thailand

open access: yesWeather and Climate Extremes, 2022
Various climate extreme events in Thailand such as more recurrent and more intense floods, droughts, tropical storms, and extreme rainfall events pose increasing threats to the environment, water resources, and agricultural production. To assess the occurrence and impacts of extreme climate events, we have overviewed and investigated the changes of ...
