A link between the global surface area receiving daily precipitation, wet-day frequency and probability of extreme rainfall
Both the total amount of precipitation falling on Earth’s surface and the fraction of the surface area on which it falls represent two key global...

Responses and impacts of atmospheric rivers to climate change
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are characterized by intense moisture transport, which, on landfall, produce precipitation which can be both beneficial and...
-
Observed increase in the peak rain rates of monsoon depressions
Most extreme precipitation in the densely populated region of central India is produced by atmospheric vortices called monsoon lows and monsoon...
