An ensemble of daily simulated runoff data (1981-2099) under climate change conditions for 93 catchments in Switzerland (Hydro-CH2018-Runoff ensemble)

Regula Muelchi et al.

Summary: A new ensemble of daily runoff simulations, Hydro-CH2018-Runoff, has been presented for meso-scale catchments in Switzerland covering the period 1981-2099. The simulations show satisfactory performance with a median Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency of 0.82 in the calibration and validation period. The simulations under climate change driven by high-resolution Swiss climate change scenarios demonstrate good agreement between simulated and observed runoff regimes, providing a valuable tool for further impact studies.

Recurrent Rossby Wave Packets Modulate the Persistence of Dry and Wet Spells Across the Globe

S. Mubashshir Ali et al.

Summary: This study used ERA-Interim reanalysis data to investigate the effects of recurrent synoptic-scale transient Rossby wave packets (RRWPs) on the persistence of dry and wet spells. It was found that RRWPs significantly alter the persistence of dry and wet spells across the globe, with spatial patterns of statistically significant links arising from the superposition of zonally symmetric and wave-like components influenced by local factors. The zonally symmetric component dominates the signal in the Northern Hemisphere during winter, while the wave-like component primarily appears in the Northern Hemisphere and changes its wavenumber with the season, potentially related to stationary wave dynamics.

Larger Spatial Footprint of Wintertime Total Precipitation Extremes in a Warmer Climate

Emanuele Bevacqua et al.

Summary: Research shows that under future climate change scenarios, the spatial extent of wintertime total precipitation extremes in the Northern Hemisphere extratropics will increase, with stabilizing at 1.5 degrees Celsius reducing the magnitude of this expansion. The increases in extent are primarily driven by increases in precipitation intensity rather than changes in the spatial organization of events.

A global perspective on the sub-seasonal clustering of precipitation extremes

Alexandre Tuel et al.

Summary: The study reveals that precipitation extremes tend to cluster on sub-seasonal time scales globally, particularly over tropical oceans and certain tropical lands. CMIP6 models accurately replicate these clustering patterns, indicating the potential for assessing trends in sub-seasonal clustering under climate change.

A climatology of sub-seasonal temporal clustering of extreme precipitation in Switzerland and its links to extreme discharge

Alexandre Tuel et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the sub-seasonal clustering of precipitation extremes in Switzerland and its link to extreme river discharge. The temporal clustering of precipitation extremes exhibits a distinct spatiotemporal pattern, occurring primarily on different sides of the Alps during different seasons. The occurrence of a cluster of precipitation extremes generally increases the likelihood and duration of high-discharge events, particularly at low elevations.

Causes, impacts and patterns of disastrous river floods

Bruno Merz et al.

Summary: This review examines the causes, impacts, and trends of disastrous river floods, finding that they have caused increasing economic losses and fatalities in the past century. Risk reduction measures and improved risk awareness have led to a decrease in the number of deaths and affected individuals in recent decades.

Flood spatial coherence, triggers, and performance in hydrological simulations: large-sample evaluation of four streamflow-calibrated models

Manuela Brunner et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the ability of models calibrated according to standard model calibration metrics to capture flood spatial coherence and triggering mechanisms. It was found that the models tend to underestimate flood magnitude and do not accurately capture flood timing. Results also show that changes in precipitation and temperature may not always be well translated into changes in flood flow, making local and regional flood hazard assessments more difficult for future conditions.
