Evidence that extreme rainfall intensity is increasing at the global scale has strengthened considerably in recent years. Research now indicates that the greatest increases are likely …
2 Chapter 2 assesses observed large-scale changes in climate system drivers, key climate indicators and 3 principal modes of variability. Chapter 3 considers model performance and …
Humans' ability to efficiently shed heat has enabled us to range over every continent, but a wet-bulb temperature (TW) of 35° C marks our upper physiological limit, and much lower …
Arid and semi-arid regions of the world are particularly vulnerable to greenhouse gas– driven hydroclimate change. Climate models are our primary tool for projecting the future …
Epidemiological analyses of health risks associated with non-optimal temperature are traditionally based on ground observations from weather stations that offer limited spatial …
