Globally, thermodynamics explains an increase in atmospheric water vapor with warming of
around 7%/° C near to the surface. In contrast, global precipitation and evaporation are …

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are characterized by intense moisture transport, which, on landfall,
produce precipitation which can be both beneficial and destructive. ARs in California, for …

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

More than 40 model groups worldwide are participating in the Coupled Model
Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6), providing a new and rich source of information to …

The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6) HighResMIP is a new
experimental design for global climate model simulations that aims to assess the impact of …

Finer grids in global climate models could lead to an improvement in the simulation of
precipitation extremes. We assess the influence on model performance of increasing spatial …

The representation of air quality and meteorology over Asia remains challenging for
chemical transport models as a result of the complex interactions between the East Asian …

The decadal time scale (∼ 1–10 years) bridges the gap between seasonal predictions and
longer-term climate projections. It is a key planning time scale for users in many sectors as …

Surface solar radiation (SSR) is the main energy source of Earth system, and has direct
influence on climate change, the hydrological cycle, and the development of renewable …

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 …
