Heat waves (HWs) can cause large socioeconomic and environmental impacts. The
observed increases in their frequency, intensity and duration are projected to continue with …

Key message Wildfire danger and burnt areas should increase over the century in southern
Europe, owing to climate warming. Fire-prone area expansion to the north and to …

Projections of climate change are available at coarse scales (70–400 km). But agricultural
and species models typically require finer scale climate data to model climate change …

Higher evaporative demands and more frequent and persistent dry spells associated with
rising temperatures suggest that drought conditions could worsen in many regions of the …

Abstract North China Plain is the heartland of modern China. This fertile plain has
experienced vast expansion of irrigated agriculture which cools surface temperature and …

Rising global temperature has put increasing pressure on understanding the linkage
between atmospheric warming and the occurrence of natural hazards. While the Paris …

Climate models are our major source of knowledge about climate change. The impacts of
climate change are often quantified by impact models. Whereas impact models typically …

Quantile mapping bias correction algorithms are commonly used to correct systematic
distributional biases in precipitation outputs from climate models. Although they are effective …

Statistical downscaling and bias correction are becoming standard tools in climate impact
studies. This book provides a comprehensive reference to widely-used approaches, and …

Most bias correction algorithms used in climatology, for example quantile mapping, are
applied to univariate time series. They neglect the dependence between different variables …
