Vegetation Greening Mitigates the Impacts of Increasing Extreme Rainfall on Runoff Events Open
Future flood risk assessment has primarily focused on heavy rainfall as the main driver, with the assumption that projected increases in extreme rain events will lead to subsequent flooding. However, the presence of and changes in vegetati…

Atmosphere and ocean energy transport in extreme warming scenarios Open
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 climate sensitivity greater than 4.5°C. The result is some of the largest…

Diverging trends in <span>US</span> summer dewpoint since 1948 Open
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 trends and patterns of extreme humidity have been much less studied …

CMIP6 captures the satellite-era jet slowdown and Arctic amplification - yet projects future jet speedup and tropical amplification Open
The polar-to-subtropical temperature gradient in the free troposphere is a key driver of the mid-latitude jet stream response to climate change. Climate models tend to steepen this gradient in response to large greenhouse gas increases, du…

Why do the Global Warming Responses of Land‐Surface Models and Climatic Dryness Metrics Disagree? Open
Earth System Models’ complex land components simulate a patchwork of increases and decreases in surface water availability when driven by projected future climate changes. Yet, commonly‐used simple theories for surface water availability, …

The roles of land-ocean geometry and ocean heat transport on continental wetness and its response to climate change Open
Terrestrial hydroclimate change projections in full-complexity climate models are characterized by a patchwork of regional drying and wetting responses for most variables, even as temperatures warm and evaporative demand increases. Yet, ce…

CO <sub>2</sub> -plant effects do not account for the gap between dryness indices and projected dryness impacts in CMIP6 or CMIP5 Open
Recent studies have found that terrestrial dryness indices like the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), and Aridity Index calculated from future climate model projections are mo…

CO2-plant effects do not account for the gap between dryness indices and projected dryness impacts in CMIP5 or CMIP6 Open
Recent studies have found that terrestrial dryness indices like the Palmer Drought Severity Index, Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index, and Aridity Index calculated from climate model projections are mostly negative, implyi…

Critical impact of vegetation physiology on the continental hydrologic cycle in response to increasing CO <sub>2</sub> Open
Significance Predicting how increasing atmospheric CO 2 will affect the hydrologic cycle is of utmost importance for a wide range of applications. It is typically thought that future dryness will depend on precipitation changes, i.e., chan…

Comparing proxy and model estimates of hydroclimate variability and change over the Common Era Open
Water availability is fundamental to societies and ecosystems, but our understanding of variations in hydroclimate (including extreme events, flooding, and decadal periods of drought) is limited because of a paucity of modern instrumental …
