Annual maximum 5-day rainfall total and maximum number of consecutive dry days over Central America and the Caribbean in the late twenty-first century projected by an atmospheric general circulation model with three different horizontal resolutions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors simulated changes in annual maximum 5-day rainfall (RX5D) and annual maximum number of consecutive dry days (CDD) in Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean with three different horizontal resolution atmospheric global general circulation models (AGCMs) and quantified the uncertainty of the projections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precipitation Extremes Monitoring Using the Near-Real-Time GSMaP Product
TL;DR: Examination of the usefulness of precipitation extremes monitoring using the Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation near-real-time product in the East Asia and Western Pacific region suggested that the detectability varied depending on the region, such as good detection in dry areas and poor detection in rainy island nations.

Intensification of hot Eurasian summers by climate change and land-atmosphere interactions.
Tomonori Sato,Tetsu Nakamura +1 more
TL;DR: A huge ensemble of general circulation model (GCM) simulations show that the recent summer temperature trend has been intensified by two factors: steady warming induced by external forcing and inhomogeneous warminginduced by internal atmosphere–land interactions that amplify quasi-stationary waves.
Characterizing Large-Scale Meteorological Patterns and Associated Temperature and Precipitation Extremes over the Northwestern United States using Self Organizing Maps
TL;DR: In this paper, the self-organizing maps (SOMs) approach is used to identify a range of archetypal large-scale meteorological patterns (LSMPs) over the northwestern United States and connect these patterns with local-scale temperature and precipitation extremes.

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.
