Hydrometeorological response to afforestation in the UK
Afforestation is of international interest for its positive benefits on carbon storage, ecology, and society, but its impacts on terrestrial and atmospheric processes are still poorly understood. This study presents the first use of a coupled land surface and convection permitting atmospheric model (CPM) to quantify hydrometeorological effects of afforestation across the United Kingdom, focusing on atmospheric processes often missing in hydrologi…

Return period of extreme rainfall substantially decreases under 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C warming
In June 2013, Uttarakhand experienced a hydro-meteorological disaster due to a 4 d extreme precipitation event of return period more than 100 years, claiming thousands of lives and causing enormous damage to infrastructure. Using the weather@home climate modelling system and its Half a degree Additional warming, Prognosis and Projected Impacts simulations, this study investigates the change in the return period of similar events in a 1.5 °C and 2…
Global implications of 1.5 °C and 2 °C warmer worlds on extreme river flows
Targets agreed to in Paris in 2015 aim to limit global warming to "well below 2 °C and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels". Despite the far-reaching consequences of this multi-lateral climate change mitigation strategy, the implications for global river flows remain unclear. Here we estimate the impacts of 1.5oC vs 2.0oC mitigation scenarios on peak flows by using daily river flow data from a…

The role of storage capacity in coping with intra- and inter-annual water variability in large river basins
Societies and economies are challenged by variable water supplies. Water storage infrastructure, on a range of scales, can help to mitigate hydrological variability. This study uses a water balance model to investigate how storage capacity can improve water security in the world's 403 most important river basins, by substituting water from wet months to dry months. We construct a new water balance model for 676 'basin-country units' (BCUs), which…
