Climate extremes threaten human health, economic stability, and the well-being of natural
and built environments (eg, 2003 European heat wave). As the world continues to warm …

Abstract The West African climate has evolved in recent decades to respond to elevated
anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) forcing. An assessment of its recent trends and future …

A key indicator of climate change is the greater frequency and intensity of precipitation
extremes across much of the globe. In fact, several studies have already documented …

Past assessments of coupled climate models have indicated that precipitation extremes are
expected to intensify over Southeast Asia (SEA) under the global warming. Here, we use …

Extreme events such as heat waves and cold spells, droughts, heavy rain, and storms are
particularly challenging to predict accurately due to their rarity and chaotic nature, and …

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

Future greenhouse warming is expected to influence the characteristics of global monsoon
systems. However, large regional uncertainties still remain. Here we use 16 Coupled Model …

The effect of increased populations concentrated in urban areas, coupled with the ongoing
threat of climate change, means that society is becoming increasingly vulnerable to the …

Climate models are crucial for assessing climate variability and change. A reliable model for
future climate should reasonably simulate the historical climate. Here, we assess the …

The rise of global mean temperature has aroused wide attention in scientific communities.
To reduce the negative climate change impact, the United Union's Intergovernmental Panel …
