Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal publishes research on the climatology and trends of precipitation extremes, including sub-daily and heavy precipitation events. It also covers the predictability of rainfall and rainy season onset on subseasonal timescales, and the evaluation of precipitation products and climate models for climate research and applications. The scope includes the analysis of extreme weather events such as heatwaves, cold spells, droughts, marine heatwaves, and wildfires, and their drivers and impacts. Additionally, the journal investigates the influence of climate change on water resources, agriculture, and ecosystems, as well as the assessment of climate model performance and bias correction techniques for future projections.
