Known as “China's Water Tower,” the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) becomes warm and humid in the short term but faces drought in the long term because of global climate change. Atmospheric water resources seem to be the only choice in the QTP region to alleviate drought conditions. Analysis of water vapour distribution and evaluation of exploitation modes of atmospheric water resources are carried out

Medicanes are tropical‐like cyclones that develop in the Mediterranean Sea. Due to their harmful potential, the study of medicanes has captured great attention from the scientific community. In the context of a changing climate, their future climatological characterization can only be achieved using climate model output. A frequently used method to characterize the thermal structure of medicanes is

Statistical downscaling (SD) methods used to refine future climate change projections produced by physical models have been applied to a variety of variables. We evaluate four empirical distributional type SD methods as applied to daily precipitation, which because of its binary nature (wet vs. dry days) and tendency for a long right tail presents a special challenge.

A coherent synoptic sequence, mostly over North Africa, is identified whereby an upper‐level midlatitude trough (in November‐March) excites several days of quasi‐stationary near‐surface warming across the Sahara, leading to rainfall events over northern Congo (NC), and perturbed weather more widely. Ahead of NC rainfall events, composite sequences first identify troughs for several days near Iberia
