Globally, thermodynamics explains an increase in atmospheric water vapor with warming of
around 7%/° C near to the surface. In contrast, global precipitation and evaporation are …

The geography and timing of changes in water availability under climate change are of
considerable societal interest. Characterizing these changes in a robust and meaningful …

2 Chapter 2 assesses observed large-scale changes in climate system drivers, key climate
indicators and 3 principal modes of variability. Chapter 3 considers model performance and …

Abstract High Mountain Asia (HMA) has experienced a spatial imbalance in water resources
in recent decades, partly because of a dipolar pattern of precipitation changes known as …

The AR5 concluded that human influence on the climate system is clear, evident from
increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, positive radiative forcing …

Abstract The Indo-Pacific Warm Pool (IPWP) exerts a dominant role in global climate by
releasing huge amounts of water vapour and latent heat to the atmosphere and modulating …

Tip** elements are components of the Earth system which may respond nonlinearly to
anthropogenic climate change by transitioning toward substantially different long‐term …

The frequency with which tropical cyclones (TCs) occur controls all other aspects of tropical
cyclone risk since a storm that does not occur can do no harm. Yet this frequency is poorly …

Sahel rainfall is dynamically linked to the global Hadley cell and to the regional monsoon
circulation. It is therefore susceptible to forcings from remote oceans and regional land alike …

We revisit the issue of the response of precipitation characteristics to global warming based
on analyses of global and regional climate model projections for the 21st century. The …
