The role of the oceanic water cycle in the record-breaking 2015 warm-season precipitation
in the US is analyzed. The extreme precipitation started in the Southern US in the spring and …

Convective storms are commonplace in the southern plains of the United States.
Occasionally, convective storms produce extreme rainfall accumulations, causing streams …

Abstract Purpose of Review: Review our current understanding of how precipitation is
related to its thermodynamic environment, ie, the water vapor and temperature in the …

It is now widely accepted,,,, that the mean world climate has warmed since the beginning of
climatologically significant anthropogenic emission of greenhouse gases. Warming may be …

This study presents a systematic analysis for identifying and attributing trends in the annual
frequency of extreme rainfall events across the contiguous United States to climate change …

Global warming is expected to change the regime of extreme precipitation. Physical laws
translate increasing atmospheric heat into increasing atmospheric water content that drives …

Observed changes in intense precipitation (eg, the frequency of very heavy precipitation or
the upper 0.3% of daily precipitation events) have been analyzed for over half of the land …

In this paper we use a statistical framework to analyze the relation between storm properties
and the statistics of extreme precipitation. We identify storm events using a 24-hour dry …

We estimate trends in US regional precipitation on multiple time spans and scales relevant
to the detection of changes in climatic regimes. A large literature has shown that trend …

Estimates of present and future extreme sub-hourly rainfall are derived from a daily spatial
followed by a sub-daily temporal downscaling, the latter of which incorporates a novel, and …
