Projection of precipitation extremes over South Asia from CMIP6 GCMs

Adnan Abbas et al.

Summary: Extreme precipitation events are a dangerous hydrometeorological disaster that cause significant losses worldwide. It is important to use global climate models to project future changes in precipitation extremes. This study assessed future changes in precipitation extremes over South Asia using CMIP6 GCMs and found that extreme precipitation indices are likely to increase under certain scenarios towards the end of the 21st century. The potential impacts of heavy precipitation pose serious challenges to the study area.

CMIP6 GCM Validation Based on ECS and TCR Ranking for 21st Century Temperature Projections and Risk Assessment

Nicola Scafetta

Summary: Global climate models (GCMs) from CMIP6 are used to simulate future temperatures and assess the risks of climate change. However, the models' climate response and sensitivity vary greatly, leading to uncertainties in the climatic impact of increased CO2 levels. Some GCMs have been found to overestimate warming, raising doubts about their reliability for policy-making. This study ranks 41 CMIP6 GCMs based on their ability to hindcast past warming and identifies a sub-ensemble of 17 models with better performance. The results suggest moderate global warming and imply that adaptation programs may sufficiently address negative effects of future climate change.

Evaluation of CMIP6 models in reproducing observed rainfall over Ethiopia

Daniel Berhanu et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the performances of 37 CMIP6 models in simulating rainfall over Ethiopia and found inconsistent reproduction of rainfall distributions. GFDL-CM4 model performed the best, followed by GFDL-ESM4, NorESM2-MM, and CESM2 models. Overall, this study highlighted the existence of dry bias in climate model projections for Ethiopia, which requires bias adjustment for impact assessment.

Extreme weather events risk to crop-production and the adaptation of innovative management strategies to mitigate the risk: A retrospective survey of rural Punjab, Pakistan

Ehsan Elahi et al.

Summary: Evaluation of climate-induced crop damages is important for developing innovative technologies and management strategies to reduce vulnerability in agriculture. This study analyzed survey data from 1232 wheat growers in Pakistan to estimate the production risk of weather shocks on wheat farms and the effectiveness of different management strategies. The results showed that extreme weather events had significant adverse effects on wheat crop damages, especially when occurring close to harvest time. The adoption of adaptive measures significantly reduced wheat losses, and factors such as education, farming experience, family size, cropping area, and access to weather forecast information also influenced the adoption of innovative management strategies.

Analysis of Energy Input-Output of Farms and Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Emissions: A Case Study of Cotton Growers

Adnan Abbas et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the energy input-output of cotton production and its environmental interventions. The results showed that chemical fertilizer, diesel fuel, and irrigation water were the major energy consumers, with a high usage of nonrenewable energy resources. Additionally, it found that low energy use efficiency could be attributed to low technical efficiency.

Understanding farmers' intention and willingness to install renewable energy technology: A solution to reduce the environmental emissions of agriculture

Ehsan Elahi et al.

Summary: This study examines the social acceptance of PV water pumps and the willingness of farmers in rural Pakistan to pay extra for green electricity. The findings suggest that farmers' intentions to install PV water pumps are positively related to attitudes towards environmental protection, subjective norms of sustainable behavior, lack of electricity access, perceived behavior control, and relative advantages. However, the cost of the PV water pump has a negative impact on farmers' installation intentions. The probability of being willing to pay extra for green electricity is influenced by education, household income, lack of access to grid electricity, age, and the cost of green energy technology.

Sensitivity analysis of greenhouse gas emissions at farm level: case study of grain and cash crops

Adnan Abbas et al.

Summary: Sensitivity analysis was conducted to investigate the impact of energy use efficiency and influencing factors on crop yield and greenhouse gas emissions for rice and cotton farmers. The results showed that excessive use of fertilizer negatively affected yield, while farm machinery, diesel fuel, and biocides had a positive effect.

Assessment of the performance of CORDEX regional climate models in simulating rainfall and air temperature over southwest Ethiopia

Tamene Adugna Demissie et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the performance of four Regional Climate Models (RCMs) in simulating rainfall and air temperature over southwest Ethiopia, finding that the ensemble of models performed better than individual models in simulating both variables. REMO2009 showed good performance in simulating maximum and minimum air temperatures, while HIRAM5 captured more extreme rainfall events. The study highlights the importance of selecting a reliable RCM for climate impact assessments.

Extreme rainfall events over Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil: Characterization using probability distribution functions and clustering analysis

Allana Oliveira Lima et al.

Summary: Extreme rainfall events are predicted to become more frequent due to climate change scenarios, especially in regions with complex topography like the state of Rio de Janeiro. The study analyzed data from 110 stations over a 50-year period to identify patterns of extreme rainfall and found that the Gumbel and GEV Probability Distribution Functions were the best fit for the data. This has implications for the increased vulnerability to landslides and floods in regions with higher extreme rainfall values, such as those close to the coast and south of the Serra dos Orgaos mountain range.

Evaluation of three approaches to probable maximum precipitation estimation: a study on two Indian river basins

Sagar Rohidas Chavan et al.

Summary: This study found that rainfall data in the Mahanadi and Godavari river basins in India exhibit multifractal properties, and the multifractal approach (MA) outperforms other empirical methods in estimating probable maximum precipitation (PMP) for longer durations. By preparing PMP maps, more accurate estimates for different durations of PMP can be provided.

Global Observations and CMIP6 Simulations of Compound Extremes of Monthly Temperature and Precipitation

Yi Wu et al.

Summary: Compound climate extremes, such as events with concurrent temperature and precipitation extremes, have significant impacts on human health and ecosystems. This study evaluates the performance of CMIP6 models in simulating compound extremes and projects a continuous increase in compound warm extremes and a decrease in compound cold extremes in the future. The uncertainties in the frequencies of compound warm extremes are considerably higher than those of compound cold extremes, with projected especially high uncertainties in the Amazon and Tibetan Plateau regions.

Heavy versus extreme rainfall events in southeast Australia

Robert A. Warren et al.

Summary: Focusing on major cities in southeast Australia, the study aims to distinguish between heavy rainfall events (HREs) and extreme rainfall events (EREs) based on environmental factors, finding that HREs are associated with specific circulation patterns and moisture transport, while EREs show amplified upper-level troughs and stronger vertical motion.

Future Changes in Precipitation Extremes over East Africa Based on CMIP6 Models

Brian Ayugi et al.

Summary: The study suggests that projected precipitation extremes in the East African region may increase towards the end of the 21st century, with different precipitation indices showing significant changes in different seasons. Intensification is likely over Uganda and most parts of Kenya, while reduction is observed over the Tanzania region. These projected extremes may pose a serious threat to the sustainability of societal infrastructure and ecosystem wellbeing.
