Chapter 12 - Long-term climate change: Projections, commitments and irreversibility
Matthew Collins,R. Knutti,Julie M. Arblaster,J.-L. Dufresne,T. Fichefet,P. Friedlingstein,Xuejie Gao,William J. Gutowski,T. Johns,Gerhard Krinner,Mxolisi Shongwe,C. Tebaldi,A.J. Weaver,M. F. Wehner +13 more
TL;DR: The authors assesses long-term projections of climate change for the end of the 21st century and beyond, where the forced signal depends on the scenario and is typically larger than the internal variability of the climate system.

Global warming and changes in drought
Kevin E. Trenberth,Aiguo Dai,Aiguo Dai,Gerard van der Schrier,Gerard van der Schrier,Philip Jones,Philip Jones,Jonathan Barichivich,Jonathan Barichivich,Keith R. Briffa,Justin Sheffield +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a commonly used drought index and observational data are examined to identify the cause of these discrepancies, and the authors indicate that improvements in the quality and coverage of precipitation data and quantification of natural variability are necessary to provide a better understanding of how drought is changing.

Global flood risk under climate change
Yukiko Hirabayashi,Roobavannan Mahendran,Sujan Koirala,Lisako Konoshima,Dai Yamazaki,Satoshi Watanabe,Hyungjun Kim,Shinjiro Kanae +7 more
TL;DR: This article used several climate models to estimate the global risk of flooding at the end of the century and showed that vulnerability is dependent on the degree of warming and the interannual variability in precipitation.

Climate extremes indices in the CMIP5 multimodel ensemble: Part 1. Model evaluation in the present climate
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of the performance of state-of-the-art global climate models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) in simulating climate extremes indices defined by the Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI), and compare it to that in the previous model generation.

A Multiscalar Drought Index Sensitive to Global Warming: The Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index
TL;DR: In this article, a new climatic drought index, the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI), is proposed, which combines multiscalar character with the capacity to include the effects of temperature variability on drought assessment.

Robust Responses of the Hydrological Cycle to Global Warming
Isaac M. Held,Brian J. Soden +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined some aspects of the hydrological cycle that are robust across the models, including the decrease in convective mass fluxes, the increase in horizontal moisture transport, the associated enhancement of the pattern of evaporation minus precipitation and its temporal variance, and decrease in the horizontal sensible heat transport in the extratropics.

Vazquez-Aguirre +25 more
TL;DR: A suite of climate change indices derived from daily temperature and precipitation data, with a primary focus on extreme events, were computed and analyzed as discussed by the authors, and the results showed widespread significant changes in temperature extremes associated with warming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change, coral bleaching and the future of the world's coral reefs
TL;DR: The results suggest that the thermal tolerances of reef-building corals are likely to be exceeded every year within the next few decades, and suggests that unrestrained warming cannot occur without the loss and degradation of coral reefs on a global scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Introduction to Statistical Modeling of Extreme Values
TL;DR: In this article, an Introduction to Statistical Modeling of Extreme Values is presented, along with a discussion of statistical models of extreme values and their application in statistical modeling of extreme value.
