Abstract:
... The Wetness Index was calculated using gridded monthly precipitation and potential evapotranspiration in China during 1924–2013. Variations of dry and wet periods in different areas and the impact of meteorological factors were analyzed. The results show the following: (1) Drought areas (W ≤ 0.5) and wet areas (W > 0.65) in China constituted 33–56% and 35–55%, respectively, of the total land area ...

Abstract:
... Statistical downscaling based on a perfect prognosis approach often relies on global reanalyses to infer the statistical relationship between synoptic predictors and the local variable of interest, here daily precipitation. Nowadays, many reanalyses are available and their impact on the downscaled variable is not often considered. The present work assessed the impact of ten reanalyses on the perfo ...

However, precipitation extremes cannot systematically follow the CC rate of 7% per warming degree, due to moisture limitations. In this study, the observational tri-pole relation among Tm, atmospheric moisture and precipitation intensity ov ...
