Abstract The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) first attempted a global
assessment of long-term changes in temperature and precipitation extremes in its Third …

Intensification of short-duration rainfall extremes and implications for flood risk: current state of
the art and future directions | Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical …

Temperature scaling studies suggest that hourly rainfall magnitudes might increase beyond
thermodynamic expectations with global warming,–; that is, above the Clausius–Clapeyron …

Abstract Models and physical reasoning predict that extreme precipitation will increase in a
warmer climate due to increased atmospheric humidity,,. Observational tests using …

A large number of recent studies have aimed at understanding short-duration rainfall
extremes, due to their impacts on flash floods, landslides and debris flows and potential for …

In the last years, the Mediterranean basin has been widely recognized as one of the most
vulnerable areas in the world to climate change; because of its high concentration of urban …

There is overwhelming consensus that the intensity of heavy precipitation events is
increasing in a warming world. It is generally expected such increases will translate to a …

Although it has been documented that daily precipitation extremes are increasing
worldwide, faster increases may be expected for subdaily extremes. Here after a careful …

Using global station‐based observations of precipitation, near‐surface air temperature
(SAT), and dew point temperature (DPT), we show that the negative scaling relationship …

This paper proposes a modeling framework able to analyze the alterations in watershed
hydrology induced by two recurrent drivers for hydrological changes: climate change and …
