Evidence for Added Value of Convection-Permitting Models for Studying Changes in Extreme Precipitation
This study explore the added value of convection‐permitting models by comparing the response of the extreme precipitation to a wide range of SST forcings in an ensemble of regional climate model simulations using parametrized and explicit convection.Read More →
The 2014 Drought in the Horn of Africa: Attribution of Meteorological Drivers
Ensemble modeling of the East African 2014 long rains season suggests no anthropogenic influence on the likelihood of low rainfall but clear signals in other drivers of drought.Read More →
Anomalous Tropical Cyclone Activity in the Western North Pacific in August 2014
The absence of western North Pacific tropical cyclone activity during August 2014 was apparently related to strong easterly wind anomalies induced by combined negative intraseasonal and Pacific decadal oscillation phases.Read More →
Hurricane Gonzalo and Its Extratropical Transition to a Strong European Storm
After transitioning from a hurricane to an extratropical storm, Gonzalo tracked unusually far, achieving exceptional strength over Europe; however, it was within the historical range of such transforming storms.Read More →
Changes in the Geospatial Height at 500 hPa Under the Influence of External Climatic Forcings
This study investigates the effects of climate forcings in the lower atmosphere using the geopotential height at 500 hPa, revealing the prominent role of human influence on some recent climatic changes.Read More →
Changes in the geopotential height at 500 hPa under the influence of external climatic forcings
A significant global increase in the annual and seasonal mean geopotential height due to human influence is detected.Read More →
Climate Change Effects on Heat- and Cold-Related Mortality in the Netherlands: A Scenario-Based Integrated Environmental Health Impact Assessment
This article explores the impacts of climate change on heat and cold-related mortality, illustrating that model outcomes are not only highly dependent on climate scenarios, but also on adaptation assumptions. Read More →
