Eastern Africa exhibits bimodal rainfall consisting of long rains (March–May) and short rains
(October–December), changes in which have profound socioeconomic and environmental …

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 …

Monsoon rainfall has profound economic and societal impacts for more than two-thirds of the
global population. Here we provide a review on past monsoon changes and their primary …

Future changes in the position of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ; a narrow band of
heavy precipitation in the tropics) with climate change could affect the livelihood and food …

The Indian summer monsoon is an integral part of the global climate system. As its seasonal
rainfall plays a crucial role in India's agriculture and shapes many other aspects of life, it …

The Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM; 56 Ma) is one of our best geological
analogs for understanding climate dynamics in a “greenhouse” world. However, proxy data …

Abstract Purpose of Review The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is a planetary-scale
band of heavy precipitation close to the equator. Here, we consider the response of the ITCZ …

With the unprecedented rate of global warming in recent decades, whether or not
anthropogenic climate change is irreversible is an important question. Based on idealized …

Migrations of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) have significant impacts on tropical
climate and society. Here we examine the ITCZ migration caused by CO2 increase using …

RCEMIP, an intercomparison of multiple types of models configured in radiative–convective
equilibrium (RCE), is proposed. RCE is an idealization of the climate system in which there …
