In order to con- firm this conclusion, the high resolution atmosphere model coupled with the medium resolution ocean model is run and the results are compared with the results of the high resolu- tion and the medium resolution climate models (see, Fig. 6). The Kuroshio current is separated from the Japan(Honsyu) Island at 35 N and flow eastward with meandering in the high resolution climate model (Top right in Fig. 6). On the contrary, the Kuroshio current tends to flow northward along the Japan Island and tends to eastward along 40 N in the cli- mate model with the medium resolution ...

Purpose of Review
We review our understanding of mechanisms underlying the response of (sub)tropical clouds to global warming, highlight mechanisms that challenge our understanding, and discuss simulation strategies that tackle them.
Recent Findings
Turbulence-resolving models and emergent constraints provide probable evidence, supported by theore...
Apparent hydrological sensitivity (ηa), the change in the global mean precipitation per degree K of global surface warming, is a key aspect of the climate system's response to increasing CO2 forcing. To determine whether ηa depends on the forcing amplitude we analyze idealized experiments over a broad range of abrupt CO2 forcing, from 2× to 8× prei...
The polar-to-subtropical temperature gradient in the free troposphere is a key driver of the mid-latitude jet stream response to climate change. Climate models tend to steepen this gradient in response to large greenhouse gas increases, due to very strong subtropical upper-level warming. This strengthens the simulated jets. However, multiple lines...
Significance
Precipitation extremes have increased in many regions of the United States, suggesting that climate change may be exacerbating the cost of flooding. However, the impact of historical precipitation change on the cost of US flood damages remains poorly quantified. Applying empirical analysis to historical precipitation and flood damages,...
Predictions of biodiversity trajectories under climate change are crucial in order to act effectively in maintaining the diversity of species. In many ecological applications, future predictions are made under various global warming scenarios as described by a range of different climate models. The outputs of these various predictions call for a re...

... Further, climate change is likely to increase public health risks from heat waves in Japan in coming years. A computerized global warming simulation determined that the yearly number of days over 30 °C will grow almost three-fold on average for the whole country by the year 2100, even if strong action at the international level is taken to curb climate change [25]. ...
The adverse health effects from hot weather and heat waves represent significant public health risks in vulnerable areas worldwide. Rising temperatures due to climate change are aggravating these risks in a context of fast urbanization, population growth and societal ageing. However, environmental heat-related health effects are largely preventable through adequate preparedness and responses. Public health adaptation to climate change will often require the implementation of heat wave warning systems and targeted preventive activities at different levels. While several national governments have established such systems at the country level, municipalities do not generally play a major role in the prevention of heat disorders. This paper analyzes selected examples of locally operated heat-health prevention plans in Japan. The analysis of these plans highlights their strengths, but also the need of local institutions for assistance to make the transition towards an effective public health management of high temperatures and heat waves. It can also provide useful elements for municipal governments in vulnerable areas, both in planning their climate change and health adaptation activities or to better protect their communities against current health effects from heat.
