Quantitative Attribution of Climate Effects on Hurricane Harvey’s Extreme Rainfall in Texas
This study suggests that post-1980 climate warming could have contributed to the extreme precipitation of Hurricane Harvey. Read More →
Attribution of Extreme Rainfall from Hurricane Harvey
This report explores Hurricane Harvey, a positive trend in the intensity of extreme precipitation, global warming, and flood protection in Houston. Read More →
The Hot and Dry April of 2016 in Thailand
This article describes how the record temperature of April 2016 in Thailand would not have occurred without the influence of both anthropogenic forcings and El Niño, which also increased the likelihood of low rainfall.Read More →
A Multimethod Attribution Analysis of the Prolonged Northeast Brazil Hydrometeorological Drought (2012–16)
Northeast Brazil experienced profound water shortages in 2016 due to a five-year drought. Using multiple methods, the article could not find sufficient evidence that anthropogenic climate change increased drought risk.Read More →
2017 Montana Climate Assessment
This assessment reports on climate trends and their consequences for three of Montana’s vital sectors: water, forests, and agriculture.Read More →
Attribution of the Observed Spring Snowpack Decline in British Columbia to Anthropogenic Climate Change
Robust anthropogenic influence is detected in three Canadian river basins: Fraser Columbia, and Campbell. Read More →
Influences of Natural Variability and Anthropogenic Forcing on the Extreme 2015 Accumulated Cyclone Energy in the Western North Pacific
The extreme value of the 2015 western North Pacific accumulated cyclone energy was mainly caused by the sea surface warming in the eastern and central Pacific. 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 →
Regional Rainfall Decline in Australia Attributed to Anthropogenic Greenhouse Gases and Ozone Levels
This study analyzes the decline in precipitation in southern Australia in the past few decades using a global climate model, demonstrating that the decline is in response to anthropogenic changes in atmospheric greenhouse gas and ozone levels.Read More →
Detection and Attribution of Observed Impacts
This chapter synthesizes the scientific literature on the detection and attribution of observed changes in natural and human systems in response to observed recent climate change.Read More →
