Evidence that extreme rainfall intensity is increasing at the global scale has strengthened
considerably in recent years. Research now indicates that the greatest increases are likely …

Warming of the climate is now unequivocal. The water holding capacity of the atmosphere
increases by about 7% per° C of warming, which in turn raises the expectation of more …

Abstract Models and physical reasoning predict that extreme precipitation will increase in a
warmer climate due to increased atmospheric humidity,,. Observational tests using …

Theoretical models predict that, in the absence of moisture limitation, extreme precipitation
intensity could exponentially increase with temperatures at a rate determined by the …

Abstract Changes in total and extreme precipitation are expected to intensify under climate
warming. As Central Asia is among the driest regions in the world, more information is …

Although it has been documented that daily precipitation extremes are increasing
worldwide, faster increases may be expected for subdaily extremes. Here after a careful …

Extreme precipitation is thought to increase with warming at rates similar to or greater than
the water vapour holding capacity of the air at~ 7%° C− 1, the so-called Clausius–Clapeyron …

Hourly precipitation extremes in very long time series from the Hong Kong Observatory and
the Netherlands are investigated. Using the 2 m dew point temperature from 4 h before the …

Recent studies have examined the relationship between the intensity of extreme rainfall and
temperature. Two main reasons justify this interest. First, the moisture-holding capacity of the …

We examine the relationship between hourly extreme precipitation and daily mean
temperature across the Contiguous United States (CONUS) during the period 1950–2009 …
