The size or energy of diverse structures or phenomena in geoscience appears to follow
power law distributions. A rigorous statistical analysis of such observations is tricky, though …

Abstract Information on extreme precipitation is essential to managing weather-related risks
and designing hydraulic structures. Research attention to frequency analyses based on …

Variability of active layer thickness (ALT) in permafrost regions is critical for assessments of
climate change, water resources, and engineering applications. Detailed knowledge of ALT …

The size of precipitation systems is an important parameter of precipitation process and
dynamics. This study uses the latest Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for Global …

Whereas it is now widely accepted that cumulus cloud sizes are power‐law distributed,
characteristic exponents reported in the literature vary greatly, generally taking values …

Humans profoundly alter fire regimes both directly, by introducing changes in fuel dynamics
and ignitions, and indirectly, by increasing the release of greenhouse gases and aerosols …

Tropical cyclones (TCs) are one of the most destructive natural hazards that pose a serious
threat to society, particularly to those in the coastal regions. In this work, we study the …

Precipitation clusters are contiguous raining regions characterized by a precipitation
threshold, size, and the total rainfall contained within—termed the cluster power. Tropical …

Fires are a fundamental part of the Earth System. In the last decades, they have been
altering ecosystem structure, biogeochemical cycles and atmospheric composition with …

The Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) is a tropical weather system that has an important
influence in the tropics and beyond; however, many of its characteristics are poorly …
