Extreme scenarios of global warming out to 2300 from the SSP5-8.5 extension scenario are analyzed in three state-of-the-art climate models, including two models with clim[...]

The polar-to-subtropical temperature gradient in the free troposphere is a key driver of the extratropical jet stream response to climate change. Climate models tend to s[...]

Recent studies have found that terrestrial dryness indices like the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), and [...]

Greenhouse gases’ continuously increasing emissions have a variety of implications for the future of our climate patterns. This includes potential changes in the northern[...]

Predicting how increasing atmospheric CO2 will affect the hydrologic cycle is of utmost importance for a range of applications ranging from ecological services to human l[...]

Increases in summer humidity are a basic threat to human survival, because the body cannot shed heat by sweating if absolute humidity is too high. However, climate change[...]

Purpose of review: Different types of methods give very conflicting impressions about whether water will become scarcer on land as Earth warms, and in what sense(s). Her[...]

Climate models have shown an overall increase in atmospheric humidity as the planet warms. However, there have been several regions over recent years that show a decrease[...]

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), a belt of convective systems around the equator with showers and thunderstorms, is an important feature not only to the tropica[...]

We evaluate the statistical relationship between ENSO state and global seasonal temperature and precipitation, creating and analyzing maps of the linear correlation betwe[...]
