Downscaled compound heatwave and heavy-precipitation analyses for Guangdong, China in the twenty-first century

Significant increases in both heatwaves and heavy precipitation were reported under global warming, leading to detrimental social, economic, and environmental impacts. However, future variations of such compound heatwave and heavy precipitation events (CHWHPs) were barely analyzed in Guangdong. Therefore, a downscaled compound heatwave-precipitation analysis approach (DCHP) was developed to explore the spatio-temporal variations of CHWHPs in …
