Unique challenges and opportunities for northeastern US crop production in a changing climate
<p>Climate change may both exacerbate the vulnerabilities and open up new opportunities for farming in the Northeastern USA. Among the opportunities are double-cropping and new crop options that may come

Spatially distinct effects of preceding precipitation on heat stress over eastern China
<p>In many terrestrial regions, higher than usual surface temperatures are associated with (or are even induced by) surface moisture deficits. When in the warm season temperatures become anomalously high,

A threefold rise in widespread extreme rain events over central India
<p>Socioeconomic challenges continue to mount for half a billion residents of central India because of a decline in the total rainfall and a concurrent rise in the magnitude and frequency of extreme rainfall

Rainfall threshold calculation for debris flow early warning in areas with scarcity of data
<p>Debris flows are one of the natural disasters that frequently occur in mountain areas, usually accompanied by serious loss of lives and properties. One of the most used approaches to mitigate the risk

Precipitation in a warming world: Assessing projected hydro-climate changes in California and other Mediterranean climate regions
<p>In most Mediterranean climate (MedClim) regions around the world, global climate models (GCMs) consistently project drier futures. In California, however, projections of changes in annual precipitation

Influence of super-parameterization and a higher-order turbulence closure on rainfall bias over Amazonia in Community Atmosphere Model version 5 (CAM5)
<p>We evaluate the Community Atmosphere Model Version 5 (CAM5) with a higher-order turbulence closure scheme, named Cloud Layers Unified By Binomials (CLUBB), and a Multiscale Modeling Framework, referred

Projecting species’ vulnerability to climate change: Which uncertainty sources matter most and extrapolate best?
<p>Species distribution models (SDMs) are commonly used to assess potential climate change impacts on biodiversity, but several critical methodological decisions are often made arbitrarily. We compare

The role of climate variability in extreme floods in Europe
<p>Climate variability is shown to be an important driver of spatial and temporal changes in hydrometereological variables in Europe. However, the influence of climate variability on flood damage has received
