Diagnosing Conditional Anthropogenic Contributions to Heavy Colorado Rainfall in September 2013
This study investigates the possible role of anthropogenic climate change in the Colorado floods of September 2013. Read More →
Attribution of Extreme Rainfall in Southeast China During May 2015
Anthropogenic climate change increased the probability that a short-duration, intense rainfall event would occur in parts of southeast China. This type of event occurred in May 2015, causing serious flooding. Read More →
Extreme Fall 2014 Precipitation in the Cévennes Mountains
This study investigates trends in the fall seasonal maximum of daily precipitation in the Cévennes mountain range, where the highest daily precipitation amount is found in France in the fall. Read More →
This peer-reviewed study examined the effect of anthropogenic warming on precipitation in southern England and contribution to severe flooding and economic damages.Read More →
Detection and Attribution of Climate Extremes in the Observed Record
This article provides an overview of the practices and challenges related to the detection and attribution of observed changes in climate extremes.Read More →
Climate Change Increases the Probability of Heavy Rains Like Those of Storm Desmond in the UK—An Event Attribution Study in Near-Real Time
This study finds that anthropogenic climate change makes one-day precipitation events averaged over an area encompassing northern England and southern Scotland about 40% more likely.Read More →
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 →
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 →
The Timing of Anthropogenic Emergence in Simulated Climate Extremes
This study uses climate models to demonstrate that temperature extremes generally emerge slightly later from their quasi-natural climate state than seasonal means.Read More →
Crucial Role of Black Sea Warming in Amplifying the 2012 Krymsk Precipitation Extreme
This study examines the effect of sea surface temperature (SST) increase on convective extremes within the region, taking the Krymsk event as a showcase example. Read More →
