Climate change will impact every aspect of biophysical systems and society. However,
unlike other components of the climate system, the impact of climate change on the …

Human activities have caused various changes to the Earth system, and hence the

Abstract An IPCC Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 C above pre-
industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of …

Abstract North China Plain is the heartland of modern China. This fertile plain has
experienced vast expansion of irrigated agriculture which cools surface temperature and …

Intensive irrigation in India has been demonstrated to decrease surface temperature, but the
influence of irrigation on humidity and extreme moist heat stress is not well understood. Here …

Regional climate modeling addresses our need to understand and simulate climatic
processes and phenomena unresolved in global models. This paper highlights examples of …

Global warming increases the number and severity of deadly heatwaves. Recent heatwaves
often coincided with soil droughts that intensify air temperature but lower air humidity. Since …

In this study, the climate variability and associated atmospheric water cycle changes in the
**njiang (China) over the past five decades (1961–2010) are investigated. The Brubaker …

Warming generally leads to increased evaporative demand, altering the amount of water
needed for growing crops. For the Midwest, some studies have suggested that reaching …

Irrigation can influence weather and climate, but the magnitude, timing, and spatial extent of
irrigation are poorly represented in models, as are the resulting impacts of irrigation on the …
