Climatic variability is one of the fundamental aspects climate. Our scope knowledge this limited by unavailable long-term high-resolution spatial data. simulations indicate that warmer climate increases extreme precipitations but decreases high-frequency temperature variability. As an important climatologic variable, precipitation reported IPCC to increase in mid and high altitudes decrease sub...

Probability estimates of the future change of extreme precipitation events are usually based on a limited number of available global climate model (GCM) or regional climate model (RCM) simulations. Since floods are related to heavy precipitation events, this restricts the assessment of flood risks. In this study a relatively simple method has been developed to get a better description of the ra...

Convective precipitation-localized, short-lived, intense, and sometimes violent-is at the root of challenges associated with observation, simulation, and prediction of precipitation. The understanding of long-term changes in convective precipitation characteristics and their role in precipitation extremes and intensity over extratropical regions are imperative to future water resource managemen...

Climate change projections, in particular precipitation and temperature under different IPCC future emissions scenarios in Texas, were based on statistically downscaled multi-model ensembles. A comparison of downscaled model results with observations and reanalysis data for the present-day climate shows that all models simulate monthly variations in surface air temperature well (correlation coe...

Results are first presented from an analysis of a global coupled climate model regarding changes in future mean and variability of south Asian monsoon precipitation due to increased atmospheric CO2 for doubled (2 · CO2) and quadrupled (4 · CO2) presentday amounts. Results from the coupled model show that, in agreement with previous studies, mean areaaveraged south Asian monsoon precipitation in...
