Precipitation 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 کاملGlobal 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 کاملReliability of regional and global climate models to simulate precipitation extremes over India
Extreme precipitation events over India have resulted in loss of human lives and damaged infrastructures, food crops, and lifelines. The inability of climate models to credibly project precipitation extremes in India has not been helpful to longer-term hazards resilience policy. However, there have been claims that finer-resolution and regional climate models may improve projections. The claims...
متن کاملGlobal warming without global mean precipitation increase?
Global climate models simulate a robust increase of global mean precipitation of about 1.5 to 2% per kelvin surface warming in response to greenhouse gas (GHG) forcing. Here, it is shown that the sensitivity to aerosol cooling is robust as well, albeit roughly twice as large. This larger sensitivity is consistent with energy budget arguments. At the same time, it is still considerably lower tha...
