Global changes in seasonal means and extremes of precipitation from daily climate model data
[1] We investigate simulated changes of seasonal precipitation maxima and means in a future, warmer climate. We use data from the ESSENCE project, in which a 17-member ensemble of climate change simulations in response to the SRES A1b scenario has been carried out using the ECHAM5/MPI-OM climate model. The large size of the data set gives the opportunity to detect the changes of climate extreme...
متن کاملTrends in Australia’s climate means and extremes: a global context
Australia, described in Dorothea Mackellar's 1904 poem My Country as the country of ‘drought and flooding rains’, may be better placed than most to adapt to changes in climate extremes. However, climate change might shift extremes towards conditions that will stress vulnerable systems such as Australia’s unique ecosystems (Pittock et al. 2001). There is growing evidence that the global changes ...
متن کاملPrecipitation Extremes Under Climate Change
The response of precipitation extremes to climate change is considered using results from theory, modeling, and observations, with a focus on the physical factors that control the response. Observations and simulations with climate models show that precipitation extremes intensify in response to a warming climate. However, the sensitivity of precipitation extremes to warming remains uncertain w...
متن کاملChanges in Temperature and Precipitation Extremes in the IPCC Ensemble of Global Coupled Model Simulations
Temperature and precipitation extremes and their potential future changes are evaluated in an ensemble of global coupled climate models participating in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) diagnostic exercise for the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4). Climate extremes are expressed in terms of 20-yr return values of annual extremes of near-surface temperature and 24-h precipitatio...
متن کاملGlobal warming and changes in risk of concurrent climate extremes: Insights from the 2014 California drought
Global warming and the associated rise in extreme temperatures substantially increase the chance of concurrent droughts and heat waves. The 2014 California drought is an archetype of an event characterized by not only low precipitation but also extreme high temperatures. From the raging wildfires, to record low storage levels and snowpack conditions, the impacts of this event can be felt throug...
