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 …

Abstract The Clausius–Clapeyron (C–C) relationship is a thermodynamic relationship
between saturation vapor pressure and temperature. Based on the C–C relationship, the …

In recent years, numerous studies have investigated the relationship of extreme precipitation
intensities with temperature derived from a binning method using present‐day weather data …

Precipitation events are expected to become substantially more intense under global
warming, but few global comparisons of observations and climate model simulations are …

Theoretical models predict that, in the absence of moisture limitation, extreme precipitation
intensity could exponentially increase with temperatures at a rate determined by the …

Precipitation extremes are expected to intensify under climate change as ground
temperature rises with a rate similar to the air's water holding capacity~ 7%/K (Clausius …

Global warming is expected to lead to a large increase in atmospheric water vapor content
and to changes in the hydrological cycle, which include an intensification of precipitation …

Data from the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) covering the period 1979–
2007 are examined for changes of precipitation extremes as a function of global mean …

Abstract Changes in precipitation extremes under greenhouse warming are commonly
assumed to be constrained by changes in the amounts of precipitable water in the …

Attributing changes in extreme daily precipitation to global warming is difficult, even when
based on global climate model simulations or statistical trend analyses. The question about …
