DOI: 10.1002/2017gl073121
Abstract: Scaling of tropical precipitation extremes in response to warming is studied in aquaplanet experiments using the global Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. We show how the scaling of precipitation extremes is highly sensitive to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jcli-d-16-0502.1
Abstract: AbstractSummertime insolation intensified in the Northern Hemisphere during the mid-Holocene, resulting in enhanced monsoonal precipitation. In this study, the authors examine the changes in the annual-mean tropical precipitation as well as changes in atmospheric circulation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jcli-d-18-0230.1
Abstract: Recent research suggests cloud–radiation interaction as key for intermodel differences in tropical precipitation change with warming. This motivates the hypothesis that intermodel differences in the climatology of precipitation, and in its response to warming, should… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/amt-12-811-2019
Abstract: Abstract. The dominant hydrometeor types associated with Brazilian tropical precipitation systems are identified via research X-band dual-polarization radar deployed in the vicinity of the Manaus region (Amazonas) during both the GoAmazon2014/5 and ACRIDICON-CHUVA field experiments.… read more here.
