    • Future urban heat island influence on precipitation 

      Steensen, Birthe Marie Rødssæteren; Marelle-Sebrechts, Louis; Hodnebrog, Øivind; Myhre, Gunnar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Urbanization and global warming are two of the major human impacts on the environment. The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect can change precipitation patterns. Global warming also leads to changes in precipitation and especially ...

    • Understanding model diversity in future precipitation projections for South America 

      Hodnebrog, Øivind; Steensen, Birthe Marie Rødssæteren; Marelle-Sebrechts, Louis; Alterskjær, Kari; Dalsøren, Stig Bjørløw; Myhre, Gunnar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Precipitation patterns are expected to change in the future climate, affecting humans through a number of factors. Global climate models (GCM) are our best tools for projecting large-scale changes in climate, but they ...

    • Urbanization in megacities increases the frequency of extreme precipitation events far more than their intensity 

      Marelle-Sebrechts, Louis; Myhre, Gunnar; Steensen, Birthe Marie Rødssæteren; Hodnebrog, Øivind; Alterskjær, Kari; Sillmann, Jana (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
