Abstract This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the human contribution to observed intensification precipitation extremes at different spatial scales. We consider annual maxima logarithm 1-day (Rx1day) and 5-day (Rx5day) amounts for 1950–2014 over global land area, four continents, several regions, compare changes with expected responses external forcings as simulated by CanESM2 in lar...

Barents–Kara (BK) sea ice conditions are considered a potential source of seasonal predictability in the midlatitudes, but confirmation or refutation this possibility remains elusive. We focused on Warm Arctic–Cold Eurasia (WACE) pattern and evaluated whether BK is related to winter over multi-model predictions. In models analyzed, WACE index strongly depended temperature did not rigorously ref...
