Attribution study shows anthropogenic climate change amplified extreme rainfall and flash flooding in Valencia, October 2024, increasing 6-hour rainfall by 21% and affected area by 55%.

75-year analysis reveals regional tropical cyclone patterns shift with climate phases, with highest activity in the Western Pacific and strong associations with El Niño and La Niña conditions.

Optimize urban flood mitigation using Pareto optimization for distributed small-scale reservoirs. Balance cost and flood reduction effectively.

Wind shear and soil moisture interact to enhance rapid thunderstorm growth, offering new predictability for severe convective initiation across Africa and beyond.

Machine learning reveals how seasonal climate and synoptic conditions differently control storm activity, with climate trends more strongly affecting storm heat anomalies than intensity.
