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 …

Abstract Regional Climate Models (RCMs) emerged 30 years ago as a transient tool to
provide detailed estimates of meteorological parameters (temperature, precipitation …

A comprehensive assessment of twenty-first century climate change in the European Alps is
presented. The analysis is based on the EURO-CORDEX regional climate model ensemble …

Editors note: For easy download the posted pdf of the Explaining Extreme Events of 2016 is

Projected warming will have significant impacts on snowfall accumulation and melt, with
implications for water availability and management in snow‐dominated regions. Changes in …

Twenty-first century snowfall changes over the European Alps are assessed based on high-
resolution regional climate model (RCM) data made available through the EURO-CORDEX …

This study investigates future changes in the accumulated and daily heavy winter snowfall in
central Japan and the surrounding regions. We analyze outputs of the 48-member ensemble …

The criteria for zoning the surface fault rupture hazard (SFRH) along thrust faults are defined
by analysing the characteristics of the areas of coseismic surface faulting in thrust …

We have recently experienced several heavy snowfall events, but still do not sufficiently
understand how global warming will impact changes in local extreme snowfall events. The …

Attribution of extreme weather events to anthropogenic climate change (ACC) has become
an increasingly important line of research in recent years. However, the potential influence …
