21st Century Changes in U.S. Heavy Precipitation Frequency Based on Resolved Atmospheric Patterns

Gridded precipitation-gauge observations and global atmospheric reanalysis are combined to develop an analogue method for detecting the occurrence of heavy precipitation events based on the prevailing large-scale atmospheric conditions. Combinations of different atmospheric variables for circulation...
