The direct impacts of climate change involve a multitude of phenomena, including rising sea
levels, intensified severe weather events such as droughts and flooding, increased …

Abstract Short-duration (1–3 h) rainfall extremes can cause serious damage to societies
through rapidly develo** (flash) flooding and are determined by complex, multifaceted …

The cryosphere (including, snow, glaciers, permafrost, lake and river ice) is an integral
element of high mountain regions, which are home to roughly 10% of the global population …

Climate extremes threaten human health, economic stability, and the well-being of natural
and built environments (eg, 2003 European heat wave). As the world continues to warm …

Approximately 10 years ago, convection‐permitting regional climate models (CPRCMs)
emerged as a promising computationally affordable tool to produce fine resolution (1–4 km) …

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 …

An intensified hydrological cycle with global warming is expected to increase the intensity
and frequency of extreme precipitation events. However, whether and to what extent the …

In many mountainous regions, winter precipitation accumulates as snow that melts in the
spring and summer, which provides water to one billion people globally. Climate warming …

Despite evidence of increasing precipitation extremes, corresponding evidence for
increases in flooding remains elusive. If anything, flood magnitudes are decreasing despite …

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are characterized by intense moisture transport, which, on landfall,
produce precipitation which can be both beneficial and destructive. ARs in California, for …
