Stream ecosystem responses to an extreme rainfall event across multiple catchments in southeast Alaska [PDF]

, 2015
Floods are a key component of the flow regime of many rivers and a major structuring force of stream communities. Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency of extreme rainfall (i.e. return intervals > 100 years) leading to extensive flooding,

Chitosan‐Carbon Dot Composite Materials Form a Leaf Surface Barrier to Mitigate the Enrichment and Invasion of Nanoplastics: From Leaf Interface to Systemic Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Foliar spraying of CS‐CDs can form a film on the leaves of Brassica rapa, effectively reducing the enrichment and absorption of PS in the leaves, while increasing the biomass and nutrient content of the plants. In addition, CS‐CDs can also enrich the interfoliar microbial community and activate the plant's own defense metabolic pathways.

An intensity gradient of extreme rainfall governs nitrogen and phosphorus losses from contour ridge systems in the rocky mountain region of Northern China

Agricultural Water Management
Extreme water erosion-induced nutrient loss poses a widespread environmental threat, contributing to land degradation and waterbody eutrophication. The increasing changes in extreme rainfall aggravate the complexity and uncertainties for nutrient loss ...

Novel stacking models for improved extreme rainfall predictions under climate change scenarios. [PDF]

, 2018
Future projections under global warming scenarios of local extreme precipitations by downscaling models is still open challenge. A number of downscaling statistical models have been proposed to link large scale atmospheric circulation features, as ...

A Leaf‐Inspired Janus‐Structured Triboelectric‐Moisture Hybrid Energy Harvester

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a bioinspired Janus structured energy‐leaf with hybrid triboelectric‐moisture hybrid energy harvesters. This hybrid energy harvester is demonstrated in an intelligent emergency system for effective distress signaling and evacuation guiding during potential crises.

Multifractals and extreme rainfall events

Geophysical Research Letters, 1993
Based on a multifractal structure hypothesis for temporal rainfall processes, a general formula relating maximum possible point rainfall accumulations is derived as a function of the duration and sample size. This formula appears to be in agreement with empirical observations.

Adapting to Changing Rainfall and Developing Off‐Farm Employment: Implications for the Adoption of Direct Seeding in Rice Production

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice is the main staple food for more than half of the world's population and the income from rice is an essential source for livelihoods of millions of households. We examine whether direct seed in rice production is an adaptation of rice farmers to rainfall changes and farm labor scarcity.

Spatial pattern of rainfall events:a background study to modeling and forecasting rainfall [PDF]

, 2014
The study of extreme rainfall events and their spatial coverage is important in identifying areas with high and low extreme events. It has been widely known that extreme rainfall is responsible for major flash flood and landslide events that have caused ...

Functional extreme rainfall data in Petaling Jaya [PDF]

, 2016
This research implements two important main fields of the study which is functional data analysis and extreme value theory. The aims of this study are to convert the extreme rainfall data into functions and to propose method development for functional ...

Warming climate increases rainfall extremes [PDF]

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2013
In recent years there have been a number of prolonged heat waves and heavy rain events, and studies are showing that global climate warming is increasing the risk of extreme rainfall and drought. To add to the evidence linking climate warming and extreme precipitation and provide a regional as well as global perspective, Lau et al. analyzed projections
