  • Periodic decadal swings in dry/wet conditions over Central Asia

    Open AccessYusen Liu, Cheng Sun et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Periodic variability in the hydro-climatic system has important implications not only for climate prediction but also for planning and managing water resources. Here we identify periodic decadal variability of dry/wet conditions in Central Asia (CA) since the mid-20th century, which are tied to the Pacific quasi-decadal oscillation (PQDO) with a period of 8–16 years ( r = 0.87). The periodically varying forcing in the Pacific modulates zonal wind…

  • Probabilistic assessments of the impacts of compound dry and hot events on global vegetation during growing seasons

    Open AccessYing Hao, Zengchao Hao et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    The response of vegetation to climate extremes, including droughts and hot extremes, has been evaluated extensively in recent decades. However, quantitative assessments of individual and combined impacts of dry and hot conditions on vegetation are rather limited. In this study, we developed a multivariate approach for analyzing vegetation responses to dry, hot, and compound dry-hot conditions from a probabilistic perspective using precipitation, …

  • Anthropogenically forced increases in compound dry and hot events at the global and continental scales

    Open AccessYu Zhang, Zengchao Hao et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Remarkable increases in compound dry and hot events (CDHEs) have been observed in different regions in recent decades. However, the anthropogenic influence on the long-term changes in CDHEs at the global scale has been largely unquantified. In this study, we provide evidence that anthropogenic forcings have contributed to the increased CDHEs over global land areas. We compare the spatial and temporal changes in CDHEs based on climate model simula…

  • Dry-hot magnitude index: A joint indicator for compound event analysis

    Open AccessXinying Wu, Zengchao Hao et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Weather and climate extremes, such as droughts and heat waves, have been commonly characterized by different properties, including frequency, duration, and magnitude. The magnitude is among the most important properties that determine the impact of extremes. Compound dry and hot events may cause detrimental impacts on water resources, energy security, crop production and food security, and have been receiving increasing attention in recent years.…

  • A monitoring and prediction system for compound dry and hot events

    Open AccessZengchao Hao, Fanghua Hao et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Compound dry and hot events (i.e. concurrent or consecutive occurrences of dry and hot events), which may cause larger impacts than those caused by extreme events occurring in isolation, have attracted wide attention in recent decades. Increased occurrences of compound dry and hot events in different regions around the globe highlight the importance of improved understanding and modeling of these events so that they can be tracked and predicted a…

  • Changes in the severity of compound drought and hot extremes over global land areas

    Open AccessZengchao Hao, Fanghua Hao et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Global warming has been shown to affect weather and climate extremes, such as droughts, floods, windstorms, cold waves, and heat waves. A number of studies have focused on the variability of different characteristics of these extremes, including their frequency, spatial extent, and severity. Recently, the study of compound extremes, defined by the co-occurrence of multiple events with extreme impacts, has attracted much attention. The compound dr…

  • Changes in concurrent monthly precipitation and temperature extremes

    Open AccessZengchao Hao, Amir AghaKouchak et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    While numerous studies have addressed changes in climate extremes, analyses of concurrence of climate extremes are scarce, and climate change effects on joint extremes are rarely considered. This study assesses the occurrence of joint (concurrent) monthly continental precipitation and temperature extremes in Climate Research Unit (CRU) and University of Delaware (UD) observations, and in 13 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) gl…
