Climate change-induced peatland drying in Southeast Asia
When organic peat soils are sufficiently dry, they become flammable. In Southeast Asian peatlands, widespread deforestation and associated drainage create dry conditions that, when coupled with El Niño-driven drought, result in catastrophic fire events that release large amounts of carbon and deadly smoke to the atmosphere. While the effects of anthropogenic degradation on peat moisture and fire risk have been extensively demonstrated, climate ch…
Regional disparities in the exposure to heat-related mortality risk under 1.5 °C and 2 °C global warming
An increase in heat-related mortality risk has emerged to accompany the ravages of climate change, but its unambiguous assessment remains an onerous task, owing to the non-linear associations between the severity of hot temperatures and human body response. The present study assesses the future heat-related mortality risk under different levels of warming (1.5 °C vs. 2 °C) using the multi-models’ large ensemble simulations. In order to augment th…
Added value of high-resolution climate projections over South Korea on the scaling of precipitation with temperature
This study evaluates the resolution dependency of scaling precipitation with temperature from the perspective of the added value of high-resolution (5 km) dynamical downscaling using various kinds of long-term climate change projections over South Korea. Three Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (global climate models (GCMs) with different climate sensitivities, and one pseudo global warming (PGW) experiment, are downscaled by Weather R…
Intense agricultural irrigation induced contrasting precipitation changes in Saudi Arabia
Groundwater extraction has grown tremendously in Saudi Arabia to meet the irrigation water demand since the 1980s, and irrigation is one of the major anthropogenic factors modulating regional hydroclimate. However, the link between irrigation and hydroclimate is not well understood in a dry region such as Saudi Arabia. In this study, we utilize three different regional climate models to explore the physical mechanisms behind the irrigation impact…
Categorization of precipitation changes in China under 1.5 °C and 3 °C global warming using the bivariate joint distribution from a multi-model perspective
This study examines the changes in the intensity and frequency of precipitation in China from a multi‐model perspective on 20 statistically downscaled fine-scale climate projections and categorizes them into four distinct patterns in response to globally targeted warming (1.5 °C and 3 °C). In a multivariate setting, the asymmetric responses of frequency and intensity to different levels of warming can be considered jointly. This study focuses on …
Summer extreme temperatures in South Korea and their intensification under 3 °C global warming
With the acceleration in global warming, extreme hot temperatures have emerged as one of the most prominent risks. In this study, we characterize the unprecedented extreme temperatures that occurred in Korea in summer 2018, and attempt to explain how this locally observed extreme event can be interpreted in the context of 2 °C and 3 °C global warming above the pre-industrial level. To better resolve geographically diverse climate features and enh…
