Projected Annual and Monsoonal Precipitation Trends of CMIP6 Over Peninsular Malaysia
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.In this study, we examined historical and projected precipitation temporal trends across Peninsular Malaysia using ground‐based records and CMIP6 models from NEX‐GDDP. Analysing data from 518 reliable gauges over 1973–2022, it identified spatial and monsoonal variations.

Remote Sensing and Modeling of the Cryosphere in High Mountain Asia: A Multidisciplinary Review
Remote SensingOver the past decades, the cryosphere has changed significantly in High Mountain Asia (HMA), leading to multiple natural hazards such as rock–ice avalanches, glacier collapse, debris flows, landslides, and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). Monitoring cryosphere change and evaluating its hydrological effects are essential for studying climate change,

Performance Evaluation of the MPAS Model in Simulating Southeast Asian Rainfall Characteristics
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study evaluates the performance of the Model for Prediction Across Scales–Atmosphere (MPAS) in reproducing key rainfall characteristics over Southeast Asia (SEA) during 2000–2020, using the MSWEP dataset as reference. MPAS realistically captures the observed meridional rainfall gradient, with higher rainfall in the south and lower in the north, as

On the Temporal Variability of Precipitation in Iraq: Arid‐Wet Years and Extreme Events
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Daily and monthly precipitation data in Iraq display high seasonal to interdecadal variability, with arid and wet years that have very distinct seasonal cycles. Monthly rainfall is significantly correlated with the Indian Ocean Dipole. Extreme events are identified and classified as belonging to four different weather patterns, allowing to obtain daily

Accelerated warming of High Mountain Asia predicted at multiple years ahead
Science BulletinHigh-Mountain Asia (HMA) is an important source of freshwater since it holds the largest reservoir of frozen water outside the polar regions. HMA feeds ten great rivers, ultimately supporting more than 2 billion people. However, the threat of accelerated glacier melt, which is a consequence of unprecedented global warming since the early 1950s ...

Historical and recent investigations on the bee fauna of Taiwan (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) [PDF]
, 2008 The bee fauna of Taiwan was studied intensively in the first half of last century and was based in large parts on the extensive material collected by Hans Sauter between 1902 and 1914. Subsequent studies on bees of Taiwan have only been sporadic.
