Abstract:
... Using a sub-selection of regional climate models at 0.11° ([Formula: see text] 12 km) grid resolution from the EURO-CORDEX ensemble, we investigate how the spatial extent of areas associated with the most intensive daily precipitation events changes as a consequence of global warming. We address this by analysing three different warming levels: 1 °C, 2 °C and 3 °C. We find that not only does the i ...

Abstract:
... A new method of searching for periodicity has been developed on the basis of extensive spatio-temporal data. The result, however, produces little more than doubts. The standard Fourier analysis indicates some periods, namely 3.7-, 7.0-, 8.8-, and 17.5-year periods, and these periodic signals are distributed relatively consistently over some regions of Europe. However, the expectations that the exa ...

The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is the most frequently used index to estimate drought.

Abstract:
... A fixed climatological year is generally used to determine rainy season onset and cessation. However, due to changes in climate, the fixed climatological year might not be the right basis for the onset and cessation dates estimation. This study proposes the usage of the driest period in the year to establish a flexible climatological year to determine rainy season onset and cessation dates. The dr ...

Abstract:

We introduce an adjustment to spatial copula processes called a non-Gaussian translation process that will allow for the specification of any marginal distribution with a closed-form density function in a ...
