Abstract:<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Extreme precipitation in Morocco triggers natural disasters such as floods, landslides, and crop losses, impacting lives and food security. Vulnerable to such events due to its subtropical location, Morocco experienced over 35 major floods from 1951 to 2015, resulting in substantial losses. Understanding the spatio-temporal aspects and physical processes\u00a0of\u00a0extreme precipitation is crucial for prediction and risk mitigation. Unfortunately, Morocco’s local and regional climates are insufficiently investigated, exacerbating uncertainties in climate projections. This lack\u00a0of\u00a0focus hinders decision-making, leaving the nation ill-prepared for natural disasters like floods. Our research aims to address this gap by investigating the spatio-temporal characteristics and physical processes behind extreme precipitation events in Morocco. Subsequently, using downscaling approaches, we aim to provide climate projections that account for local-scale climate forcings,\u00a0offering more reliable information for informed decision-making. Ultimately, our goal is to enhance Morocco’s ability to prepare for and mitigate the impacts\u00a0of\u00a0extreme weather events associated with extreme precipitation, reducing the risk\u00a0of\u00a0unpredicted disasters.<\/span><\/p>\n
