Focus: Precipitation trends and extremes
The hydrological cycle influences the development of societies, as well as human lifestyles and well-being across the globe. How climate change might affect the timing and variability of precipitation, along with the resulting floods and droughts, could significantly impact agriculture, water resources and natural ecosystems. In this web focus we present a variety of articles, including original research, that highlight trends in precipitation and flooding under climate change.
