Spatiotemporal Evolution of Regional Heavy Rainfall Events in Guangdong, South China: Intensification and Expansion Since the Early 1990s

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Regional heavy rainfall events (RHREs) in Guangdong, South China, during 1961–2025 are reassessed using an improved strength index that integrates rainfall intensity, spatial extent and duration. Results reveal a post‐1991 shift towards more frequent and spatially extensive strong and extreme events, with June showing the most pronounced ...

A reliable artificial weathering test for wood coatings

, 2003
Accelerated weathering plays an important part in the development of new finishing systems. But there is no standardised method in existence which is applicable to the wood surface.

Annual and Seasonal Rainfall Variability in Mozambique During the Nineteenth Century

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This paper presents the first annually and seasonally resolved reconstructions of nineteenth‐century rainfall variability for Mozambique derived from the analysis of extensive documentary evidence. It reveals spatially heterogeneous rainfall patterns with recurrent multi‐year droughts, episodic extreme wet events, and a strong coherence between ...

Deep weathering and landscape evolution in a tropical plateau

, 2011
The thick weathering profiles of humid tropical areas are an important, yet generally neglected, source of information on landscape evolution. Six complete profiles of the weathering mantle were sampled by drilling on the three stepped levels of the ...

Late Pleistocene island weathering and precipitation in the Western Pacific Warm Pool

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
Deciphering past climate variability in the Western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP), the Earth’s largest heat and moisture centre, is vital for understanding the global climate system.

Spatio‐Temporal Analysis of Human Thermal Comfort and Relationships With Large‐Scale Climate Indices Along Ghana's Coastal‐Urban Corridor From 1980 to 2020

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Four decades of UTCI data show increasing thermal stress along Ghana's coastal‐urban corridor, with very strong heat‐stress days rising by about 1.4 days/year. Random Forest–SHAP analysis with temporal validation identified AOD as the strongest model‐based predictor of monthly UTCI variability, followed by TSA, WHWP, and AMO.

A conceptual review of weathering testing using malaysian tropical timber

, 2015
History of accelerated weathering testing as a tool to explain the nature of weathering with a faster outcome has been documented since the 1940s. There are various method applied as accelerated weathering testing, i.e., cyclic boil-dry test, automatic ...

Compound Meteorological and Hydrological Hot‐Dry and Hot‐Wet Extremes Over Global Land Areas: Spatiotemporal Changes, Attribution, and Drivers

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The changes in joint return period of compound meteorological hot‐dry (CMHHE) and hot‐wet (CMHWE) and compound hydrological hot‐dry (CHHDE) and hot‐wet (CHHWE) extremes were attributed to changes in associated univariate extremes and their dependence.
