Robust Projections of Changing Precipitation Evenness in a Warming Climate by Hsin Hsu, Stephan Fueglistaler

“…Changes in temporal evenness of local‐daily precipitation show a complex geographic pattern. However, particularly over land, we show that a simple theoretical scaling explains this complexity to result from increased precipitation intensity scaling at about the Clausius‐Clapeyron rate, and a local balance between changes in annual‐mean precipitation and dry‐day fraction. …”

THE MONETARY POLICY IN COUNTRIES OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE IN THE GLOBALIZATION CONTEXT: REGIMES AND TOOLS by M. YU. Golovnin

“…The evolution of monetary policy regimes in the CEE countries corresponds to the “bipolar pattern”. It is shown that countries with the extreme form of the exchange rate fixation demonstrate the best results in quiescent periods and are more affected by crises whereas countries with the inflation targeting regime are characterized by smoothed dynamics of macroeconomic indices. …”
