Abstract The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded that there is
consensus that the increase of atmospheric greenhouse gases will result in climate change …

A hybrid approach by combining the past performance and the envelope methods has been
proposed for the selection of an ensemble of general circulation models (GCMs) of Couple …

The devastating impacts of drought are fast becoming a global concern. Zimbabwe is among
the countries more severely affected, where drought impacts have led to water shortages …

The rising temperature due to global warming has caused an increase in frequency and
severity of heat waves across the world. A statistical model known as Quantile Regression …

South Asia is the world's most poverty-dense region, where climate change and climate
variability are expected to result in increased heat stress and erratic precipitation patterns …

There is increasing concern in southern Africa about the possible decline of rainfall as a
result of global warming. Some studies concluded that average rainfall in Zimbabwe had …

Extreme climatic events, such as flooding rains, extended decadal droughts and heat waves
have been identified increasingly as important regulators of natural populations. Climate …

This paper draws attention to highlight the spatial and temporal variability in precipitation
lapse rate (PLR) and precipitation extreme indices (PEIs) through the mesoscale …

A new approach for weather index‐based insurance design based on Quantile Regression
(QR) to condition the yield‐index dependency is developed and compared to standard …

Climate change may not change the rainfall mean, but the variability and extremes.
Therefore, it is required to explore the possible distributional changes of rainfall …
