Abstract Short-duration (1–3 h) rainfall extremes can cause serious damage to societies
through rapidly developing (flash) flooding and are determined by complex, multifaceted …

Approximately 10 years ago, convection‐permitting regional climate models (CPRCMs)
emerged as a promising computationally affordable tool to produce fine resolution (1–4 km) …

India has witnessed some of the most devastating extreme precipitation events, which have
affected urban transportation, agriculture, and infrastructure. Despite the profound …

Evidence that extreme rainfall intensity is increasing at the global scale has strengthened
considerably in recent years. Research now indicates that the greatest increases are likely …

The response of precipitation extremes to climate change is considered using results from
theory, modeling, and observations, with a focus on the physical factors that control the …

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

The ostensibly large number of recent extreme weather events has triggered intensive
discussions, both in-and outside the scientific community, on whether they are related to …

This chapter assesses the scientific literature describing expectations for near-term climate
(present through mid-century). Unless otherwise stated," near-term" change and the …

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

Precipitation changes can affect society more directly than variations in most other
meteorological observables,,, but precipitation is difficult to characterize because of …
