Zittis et al. (2021) Revisiting future extreme precipitation trends in the Mediterranean
This study assesses future trends in annual rainfall extremes and total precipitation in the Mediterranean using an ensemble of 33 high-resolution regional climate simulations under an RCP8.5 scenario. It projects a strong north-south gradient in extreme precipitation trends, with significant increases in 50-year and 100-year extremes across the region, despite overall decreasing total annual precipitation in the south, highlighting challenges for water resource management.
