Escalating tropical cyclone precipitation extremes and landslide hazards in South China under Global Warming
Tropical cyclones (TCs) are expected to produce more intense precipitation under global warming. However, substantial uncertainties exist in the...

Extreme storms in Southwest Asia (Northern Arabian Peninsula) under current and future climates
Precipitation extremes will generally intensify in response to a warming climate. This robust fingerprint of climate change is of particular concern,...

Upper tropospheric moistening during the Asian summer monsoon in a changing climate
This study investigates the projected changes in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) water vapor over the Asian summer monsoon (ASM)...

Global tropical cyclone precipitation scaling with sea surface temperature
Understanding the relationship between tropical cyclone (TC) precipitation and sea surface temperature (SST) is essential for both TC hazard...

Trends in seasonal precipitation extremes and associated temperatures along continental Chile
We characterize trends in maximum seasonal daily precipitation (seasonal Rx1day), minimum (Tn), and maximum (Tx) daily temperatures during days with...

Attributable human-induced changes in the magnitude of flooding in the Houston, Texas region during Hurricane Harvey
The human influence on precipitation during tropical cyclones due to the global warming is now well documented in the literature. Several studies...

Intensification of El Niño-induced atmospheric anomalies under greenhouse warming
The El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has a profound influence on global climate and ecosystems. Determining how the ENSO responds to greenhouse...

Attribution of the December 2013 extreme rainfall over the Pearl River Delta to anthropogenic influences
During 14 to 17 December 2013, the Pearl River Delta (PRD) in South China received its largest wintertime 4-day precipitation of above 100 mm since...

Greenhouse gas-induced modification of intense storms over the west African sahel through thermodynamic and dynamic processes
Convective-permitting ensemble simulations are used to understand the roles of thermodynamic and dynamic processes in changing intense storms over...

Impacts of tropical cyclones on the global water budget
Tropical cyclones (TCs) require substantial amounts of moisture for their genesis and development, acting as important moisture drivers from the...

Causes of large projected increases in hurricane precipitation rates with global warming
Recent climate modeling studies point to an increase in tropical cyclone rainfall rates in response to climate warming. These studies indicate that...

The East Asian Summer Monsoon Response to Global Warming in a High Resolution Coupled Model: Mean and Extremes
Current climate models still have considerable biases in the simulation of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM), which in turn reduces their...
