Strengthening contrast between precipitation in tropical wet and dry regions
The wet‐gets‐wetter, dry‐gets‐drier paradigm (WWDD) is widely used to summarize the
expected response of the hydrological cycle to global warming. While some studies find that …

Precipitation in a warming world: Assessing projected hydro-climate changes in California and other Mediterranean climate regions
Abstract In most Mediterranean climate (MedClim) regions around the world, global climate
models (GCMs) consistently project drier futures. In California, however, projections of …

The response of precipitation characteristics to global warming from climate projections
We revisit the issue of the response of precipitation characteristics to global warming based
on analyses of global and regional climate model projections for the 21st century. The …

Spatial‐temporal variations of evapotranspiration and runoff/precipitation ratios responding to the changing climate in the Pacific Northwest during 1921‐2006
Water resources in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are very sensitive to climate change. There
are still big knowledge gaps on how evapotranspiration (ET) varies in responding to …

Projected changes to hydroclimate seasonality in the continental United States
Future changes to the hydrological cycle are projected in a warming world, and any shifts in
drought risk may prove extremely consequential for natural and human systems. In addition …

Future changes of subseasonal precipitation variability in North America during winter under global warming
Abstract Changes in subseasonal precipitation variability have important implications for
predictability of weather and climate extreme. Here we explore the mechanisms that lead to …
