We project drought losses in China under global temperature increase of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C, based on the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) Palmer Drought Severity (PDSI), a cluster analysis method, "intensity-loss rate" function. In contrast to earlier studies, losses, we predict regional gross domestic product shared socioeconomic pathways instead using static scenario. identify increasing precipitation evapotranspiration pattern for warming above preindustrial at...

To characterize future drought events over a prone area like South Asia is paramount for risk mitigation. In this paper, five-model ensemble mean from CMIP6 was chosen to project characteristics in under the latest SSPs-RCPs emission scenarios (SSP1–2.6, SSP2–4.5, and SSP5–8.5) period 2020–2099. Additionally, corresponding RCP2.6, RCP4.5 RCP8.5 of CMIP5 were used comparison identify changes improvements Asia. Principle Component Analysis Varimax rotation method divided study into five...

Abstract The increase in surface air temperature China has been faster than the global rate, and more high spells are expected to occur future. Here we assess annual heat-related mortality densely populated cities of at 1.5 °C 2.0 warming. For this, urban population is projected under five SSPs, 31 GCM runs as well temperature-mortality relation curves applied. from 32.1 per million inhabitants annually 1986–2005 48.8–67.1 for warming 59.2–81.3 warming, taking improved adaptation capacity...

Abstract Spatial and temporal characteristics of precipitation trends in the Zhujiang River basin, South China, are analyzed. Nonparametric trend tests applied to daily data from 192 weather stations between 1961 2007 for following indices: annual, monthly, precipitation; annual monthly number rain days intensity; maximum 5-day precipitation, rainstorms with >50 mm day−1, peaks over thresholds (90th, 95th, 99th percentile). The results show that few experienced indices on an basis. On...

Satellite-based precipitation monitoring at high spatial resolution is crucial for assessing the water and energy cycles global regional scale. Based on recently released 7th version of Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) product Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), monthly data (3B43) are evaluated using observed from 65 meteorological stations in Jiangsu Province, China, period 1998–2014. Additionally, standardized index (SPI), which derived by a nonparametric approach,...

Abstract. In this study, hydrological long-term dry and wet periods are analyzed for the Xijiang River basin in South China. Daily precipitation data of 118 stations on daily discharge at Gaoyao station mouth period 1961–2007 used. At a 24-month timescale, standardized index (SPI-24) six sub-basins (SDI-24) applied. The monthly values SPI-24 averaged correlate highly with SDI-24. Distinct sequences can be detected. principal component analysis is applied shows spatial disparities sub-basins....

Abstract In a changing climate, understanding the frequency of weather extremes is crucial to improving management associated risks. The concept index–based insurance introduced as new approach in risk adaptation. It can decrease vulnerability precipitation that cause floods and economic losses Zhujiang River basin. probability key input distribution annual analyzed with four functions [gamma 3, generalized extreme value (GEV), Pareto, Wakeby].

ABSTRACT This study presents a detailed analysis of simulated and projected climate extremes in the Zhujiang River Basin (ZRB). Daily output from regional model COSMO‐CLM ( CCLM ), driven by ECHAM5 general circulation model, is used. The hindcast simulation covers period 1961 to 2000 while projection concentrates on near future 2011 2050. Spatio‐temporal statistical characteristics are investigated for three temperature precipitation indicators. six annual monthly indicators statistically...

ABSTRACT In this article, the analysis of simulated and projected climatic changes in Indus River Basin ( IRB ) is presented. The performance regional climate model COSMO‐CLM CCLM driven by global circulation MPI‐ESM‐LR evaluated on ability reproducing temperature, precipitation, wind pattern for period 1961–2005. There exist quantitative biases, especially precipitation pattern, which are associated to diverse reproduction atmospheric model. overall results show that able satisfyingly...

In this study, the characteristics of tropical cyclones (TCs) and their economic losses in China for a 30-year period (1984–2013) are analyzed on provincial scale. The TC parameters quantitatively inherent trends cycles using Mann-Kendall test fast Fourier power spectrum. Different normalization methods applied to attribute socioeconomic factors increasing original losses. These normalized with consumer price index, conventional as well alternative method. frequency maximum from events is...
