The dynamical downscaling method with a regional climate model (RCM) is widely used to
assess the spatially detailed information about regional climate. However, the RCM result is …

Abstract The Asian Precipitation Experiment (AsiaPEX) was initiated in 2019 to understand
terrestrial precipitation over diverse hydroclimatological conditions for improved predictions …

This study investigates future changes in the accumulated and daily heavy winter snowfall in
central Japan and the surrounding regions. We analyze outputs of the 48-member ensemble …

Mechanism of Precipitation Increase with Urbanization in Tokyo as Revealed by Ensemble
Climate Simulations in: Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology Volume 53 Issue 4 …

This study explored how heat island intensification affects precipitation in the Tokyo
metropolitan area. Numerical experiments were made for the month of August from 2006 to …

Geographical distributions of heavy snowfall, especially in the Pacific Ocean side of Japan,
have not been previously elucidated due to low occurrence frequency of heavy snowfall and …

Recent studies have revealed that an increase in surface air temperature elevates the
intensity of extreme precipitation associated with the increase of water vapor in the …

High-resolution downscaling is vital to project climate extremes and their future changes by
resolving fine topography reasonably well, which is a key to represent local climatology and …

Two long continuous regional climate simulations over China have been carried out using
the Regional Climate Model version 4 (RegCM4) and Weather Research and Forecasting …

In this article we have assessed the expected impacts of future climate changes on rainfall
erosivity, a rainfall factor associated with soil erosion, of farmlands in Japan. The …
