2 Chapter 2 assesses observed large-scale changes in climate system drivers, key climate
indicators and 3 principal modes of variability. Chapter 3 considers model performance and …

The AR5 concluded that human influence on the climate system is clear, evident from
increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, positive radiative forcing …

Variation in quantities such as precipitation and temperature is often assessed by detecting
and characterizing trends in available meteorological data. The objective of this study was to …

The response of precipitation to global warming is manifest in the strengthening of the
hydrological cycle but can be complex on regional scales. Fingerprinting analyses have so …

The recent expansion of Aedes albopictus across continents in both tropical and temperate
regions and the exponential growth of dengue cases over the past 50 years represent a …

Employing a multi-model framework, we estimate the impacts of contrasting warming levels
and uneven regional socio-economic development on area, population and gross domestic …

The role of sea surface temperature (SST) in determining the predictability of monthly mean
precipitation over the global land is assessed by analyzing the Atmospheric Model …

Abstract Changes in rainfall seasonality across South Africa may have detrimental impacts
on crop yields and surface water supplies. Despite this, these have rarely been investigated …

The fidelity of 28 CMIP5 models and their multimodel mean (MMM) in simulating the
historical climate of Africa is assessed in this study. For the historical period of 1975–2005 …

To demonstrate the challenge of summer rainfall prediction and simulation in the eastern
China, in this work, we examine the skill of the state-of-the-art climate models, evaluate the …
