This paper presents an overview of recent observational studies on the Clausius-Clapeyron precipitation-temperature (P-T) scaling in midlatitudes. As the capacity of air to hold moisture increases in connection with increasing temperature, extreme precipitation events may become more abundant and intense. The capacity of air to hold moisture is governed by the Clausius-Clapeyron (CC) relation, approximately 7% per C. Departures from this, so called super-CC scaling and sub-CC scaling, are consequences of different factors (moisture availability, type of precipitation, annual cycle, the percentile of precipitation intensity and regional weather patterns). Since the moisture availability and enhanced convection were considered as the most important drivers governing the P-T scaling, dew point temperature as a scaling variable is discussed in detail and methods of disaggregation of precipitation events into convective and non-convective are also reviewed.

中纬度极端降水的克劳修斯-克拉珀龙尺度观测概述

本文介绍了有关中纬度克劳修斯-克拉珀龙降水温度（PT）尺度的最新观测研究的概况。随着空气保持水分的能力随温度升高而增加，极端的降水事件可能变得更加丰富和强烈。空气保持水分的能力受克劳修斯－克拉皮龙（CC）关系控制，大约为每C 7％。与此不同的是，所谓的超级CC缩放和次CC缩放是不同因素（水分可用性，降水类型，年周期，降水强度的百分位数和区域天气模式）。由于水分可用性和对流增强被认为是控制PT结垢的最重要驱动因素，
