DOI: 10.1002/joc.5074
Abstract: An important step in developing climate forecasts is the identification of an appropriate set of predictors. Seasonal rainfall forecasts for South Australia (SA) currently have low predictive skill. It is hypothesised that this is because… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00376-019-9099-5
Abstract: Using a high-resolution precipitation dataset, the present study detected that the mountainous area of central China (MACA) is a hotspot of ENSO’s impact on the summer rainfall variability. Further analysis suggests that both ENSO and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-020-04624-w
Abstract: Recent observational evidence suggests that nighttime temperatures are increasing faster than daytime temperatures, while in some regions precipitation events are becoming less frequent and more intense. The combined ecological impacts of these climatic changes on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00703-019-00703-7
Abstract: The Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGPs) are densely populated and agriculturally productive areas with strong interannual and intraseasonal rainfall variability. The intraseasonal rainfall variability over IGPs is due to variation in sea surface temperature in the equatorial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10584-019-02555-x
Abstract: There is increasing evidence that climate change is impacting not just total amounts of precipitation, but its temporal dynamics as well. While previous studies have identified the importance that the temporal distribution of daily rainfall… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtbi.2017.10.019
Abstract: Savannas are mixed tree-grass ecosystems whose dynamics are predominantly regulated by resource competition and the temporal variability in climatic and environmental factors such as rainfall and fire. Hence, increasing inter-annual rainfall variability due to climate… read more here.
