The relationship between sub-daily precipitation and urbanization is widely concerned because short-term precipitation is sensitive to urbanization and difficult to predict. Using the data of summer hourly precipitation and urban development during 2007-2019 at four urban stations and an atmospheric background monitoring station in central China, this study investigates the characteristics of hourly precipitation and hourly extreme precipitation (HEP) under different urbanization background. It is found that high urbanization level may benefit precipitation intensity but not for accumulated precipitation amount and precipitation frequency, and it is also conducive to the occurrence of hourly precipitation within [20, 50) mm. Precipitation amount and frequency for hourly precipitation within [5, 50) mm have similar diurnal variation at fixed station, yet the diurnal variation of precipitation intensity is insignificant. The differences in temporal variation of precipitation are related to urbanization and terrain. Both high urbanization level and speed are conducive to summer HEP; especially summer HEP intensity may increase gradually under sustainable urbanization development. Although growth-type HEP occurs frequently with main contribution to total HEP precipitation amount in central China regardless of urbanization level, the frequency and contribution of continuous-type HEP tends to increase under high urbanization level and speed.

Tropical cyclones (TCs) are catastrophic phenomena that constantly threaten populations settled in the tropics. Their direct effects (strong winds, storm surges, and intense precipitation) are confined near the TC center. On the other hand, the indirect effects are due to extreme rainfall events associated with rainbands distant from the TC center.

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are narrow regions of intense water vapour transport in the Earth's atmosphere. These transient phenomena carry water from the subtropics to the mid-latitudes and polar regions, making up the majority of polewards moisture transport and exerting control on the precipitation and water resources in many regions. In addition to transporting moisture, ARs also transport heat, but the impact of this transport on global near-surface air temperatures has not yet been characterized.

Climate data plays a crucial role in water resources management, which is becoming an increasingly relevant asset in all types of hydrological analysis not only for climate change studies but for various horizon forecasting. Though the ever-improving accuracy of climate models' spatial and temporal resolution has surged the validity of their outputs, the products of global and regional climate models need to be corrected to be reliably used for local purposes. Here, we propose a comprehensive analysis of statistical univariate and multivariate, as well as machine learning methods for bias correction, which are compared on different temporal scales, ranging from hourly time steps to monthly aggregations, in an environment of complex Alpine orthography, using ERA5-Land reanalysis data.

Background: () is the predominant malaria species in countries approaching elimination. In the context of climate change, understanding environmental drivers of transmission can guide interventions, yet evidence is limited, particularly in Latin America.
Objectives: We estimated the association between temperature and precipitation and malaria incidence in a malaria elimination setting in Peru.

Herein, a B-site-rich Ru/MgAlO nanocatalyst for the production of CO-free hydrogen from ammonia (NH) is synthesized using the polyol method. The polyol method enables size-sensitive Ru-nanoparticle growth and controlled B-site formation on the catalyst by tuning the carbon-chain length of the polyol solvent used, obviating the use of a separate stabilizer and enhancing electron donation from Ru (with a high surface electron density) and π-back bonding. The Ru/MgAlO (BG) catalyst synthesized using butylene glycol (a long-carbon-chain solvent) contains 2.
