Exploring possible climate change amplification of warm-season precipitation extremes in the southeastern Alpine forelands at regional to local scales by S.J. Haas, G. Kirchengast, J. Fuchsberger

“…New hydrological insights for the region:: Even though extreme hourly-scale precipitation is expected to increase with rising temperatures, we find that this strongly varies at local scales within the region. While some subregions show an amplification higher than the Clausius–Clapeyron relation would suggest, and beyond estimated natural variability, others exhibit a decrease in extreme precipitation. …”
