Continentality determines warming or cooling impact of heavy rainfall events on permafrost. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2023
Permafrost thaw can cause an intensification of climate change through the release of carbon as greenhouse gases. While the effect of air temperature on permafrost thaw is well quantified, the effect of rainfall is highly variable and not well understood.

Increasing hourly heavy rainfall in Austria reflected in flood changes. [PDF]

Nature
Climate change is expected to increase heavy rainfall with concomitant increases in flooding1. Causes of increased heavy rainfall include the higher water-holding capacity of a warmer atmosphere and changes in atmospheric circulation patterns2, which may

Intensification of subhourly heavy rainfall

Science, 2022
Short-duration rainfall extremes can cause flash flooding with associated impacts. Previous studies of climate impacts on extreme precipitation have focused mainly on daily rain totals. Subdaily extremes are often generated in small areas that can be missed by gauge networks or satellites and are not resolved by climate models.

Recent decadal enhancement of Meiyu-Baiu heavy rainfall over East Asia. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2021
East of Eurasia, moist air is transported poleward, forming the Meiyu–Baiu front over East Asia in late June and early July. Recently, unusually heavy rainfall may have increased, causing catastrophic flooding in East Asia.
