Observed heavy precipitation increase confirms theory and early models
Environmental phenomena are often observed first, and then explained quantitatively. The
complexity of processes, the range of scales involved, and the lack of first principles make it …

Water vapor and lapse rate feedbacks in the climate system
Water vapor is a greenhouse gas that dominates Earth's terrestrial radiation absorption. As
the planetary temperature warms, forced by increasing CO 2 and other greenhouse gases …

Climate sensitivity and relative humidity changes in global storm-resolving model simulations of climate change
The climate simulation frontier of a global storm-resolving model (GSRM; or k-scale model
because of its kilometer-scale horizontal resolution) is deployed for climate change …

Challenges in combining projections from multiple climate models
Recent coordinated efforts, in which numerous general circulation climate models have
been run for a common set of experiments, have produced large datasets of projections of …
