TLDR
In this paper, an analysis of climate model simulations suggests that in an emission scenario without mitigation, a large fraction of tropical precipitation change will be independent of global surface warming over the twenty-first century.Abstract:
Predicting the response of tropical rainfall to climate change remains a challenge. An analysis of climate model simulations suggests that in an emission scenario without mitigation, a large fraction of tropical precipitation change will be independent of global surface warming over the twenty-first century.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the Max-Planck-Institute Earth System Model (MPI-ESM) is used in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) in a series of climate change experiments for either idealized CO2-only forcing or forcings based on observations and the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios.

Atmospheric circulation as a source of uncertainty in climate change projections
TL;DR: For example, this paper found that scientific confidence in climate change effects is much higher for aspects related to global patterns of surface temperature, than for circulation, necessitating a risk-based approach to decision making.

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.
