In this study, a pattern detection method is applied on the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 simulation outputs of seven GCMs—disseminated by Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5)—to determine whether atmospheric teleconnection patterns detected in ERA-20C reanalysis from European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) will be observable future projections CMIP5 GCMs. The technique—...

Abstract. The region of southern Africa (SAF) is highly vulnerable to the impacts climate change and projected experience severe precipitation shortages in coming decades. Ensuring that our modeling tools are fit for purpose assessing these changes critical. In this work we compare a range satellite products along with gauge-based datasets. Additionally, investigate behavior regional simulation...

The flood hazard in New York City depends on both storm surges and rising sea levels. We combine modeled storm surges with probabilistic sea-level rise projections to assess future coastal inundation in New York City from the preindustrial era through 2300 CE. The storm surges are derived from large sets of synthetic tropical cyclones, downscaled from RCP8.5 simulations from three CMIP5 models....

Evaluating global climate model (GCM) outputs is essential for accurately simulating future hydrological cycles using models. The GCM multi-model ensemble (MME) precipitation simulations of the Climate Model Intercomparison Project Phases 5 and 6 (CMIP5 CMIP6, respectively) were spatially temporally downscaled according to a multi-site statistical downscaling method Hanjiang River Basin (HRB), ...
