Using simulations from the Geoengineering Large Ensemble (GLENS), we assess spatial anomalies and differences in extreme precipitation indices—number of wet days (RR1), very heavy precipitation days (R20mm), maximum 5-day precipitation (Rx5day), consecutive dry days (CDD), and consecutive wet days (CWD)—relative to historical (1980–2009) and Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) baselines. The results reveal that SRM induces highly heterogeneous precipitation responses across the region. While SRM increases rainfall frequency in parts of Indonesia, it reduces the number of wet days and lengthens dry spells over Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines. Spatial variations are also observed in changes to heavy precipitation days and multi-day rainfall events, with potential implications for flood and drought risks. These findings highlight the complex trade-offs in hydrological responses under SRM deployment, with important considerations for agriculture, water resource management, and climate adaptation strategies in Southeast Asia. *Source: MDPI* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
