This article evaluates the performance of 20 models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6) in simulating precipitation over China from 1981 to 2014, with a focus on interannual and seasonal variations. The evaluations results varying levels of performance among the models...
Climate change
As global climate change intensifies, with frequent extreme weather events, the stability of vegetation is severely threatened. This study (2002–2023) uses NDVI, temperature, and precipitation data, along with methods like pixel binary, trend analysis, and multiple regression residual analysis, to...

High-speed railway (HSR) is severely affected by precipitation disasters. There are many studies on precipitation and precipitation disasters, most of which are precipitation and analysis of disasters caused by precipitation, and few explain climate changes caused by precipitation. This paper uses...
Hydrology and Water Resources Management
The present study analyses the various uncertainties and nonstationarity in the streamflow projections of Subarnarekha river basin in Eastern India using two widely used hydrological climate models: 1) general circulation model (GCM), and 2) forcing climate change scenarios. These two climate models...

Alternatively, to other studies that used parametric distributions (e.g. Gamma) in the estimation of the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), this study aims to apply a nonparametric method based on Kernel Density Estimator (KDE) for calculating the SPI. Results of the proposed method were...
Hydrology and Water Resources Management
Water balance studies in the Okavango Delta indicate that more than 90% of inflow into the Delta is lost through evaporation. This coupled with high climatic variability threatens the ecohydrology of the Delta. Trends indicate decreasing rainfall amounts and increasing temperature at the area of the...
General
After a prolonged drought period in the early 2000s, the Canadian prairie experienced a remarkably wet year in 2010. Five stations near the edge of the Saskatchewan boreal forest recorded historically high cumulative precipitation (from April to September). The exceptional wet year causes the public...
General
Two main focus of this study is the spatial and temporal analysis of annual 24-hour extreme precipitation amounts for different return periods, and the intra-annual variability of the frequency of month to month maximum rainfall using harmonic analysis. Data for analysis gathered from 51 stations...
General
The relationships between the annual variability of the Aleppo pine tree-ring widths and the variability of the main climatic parameters in the Attica basin are analysed in the present study for a 45-year period (1959-2003). The Principal Components Analysis was applied to the times-series of the...
General
The aim of this study is to estimate future potential changes in duration of extreme dry and wet spells and rainfall intensity in Eastern Mediterranean. For this purpose, daily precipitation amounts, deriving from the regional climate model of UK Hadley Centre HadRM3P have been used for the present...
