September 2014
Hailan Wang, Siegfried Schubert
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
The 2013 SST anomalies produced a predilection for California drought, whereas the longterm warming trend appears to make no appreciable contribution because of the counteraction between its dynamical and thermodynamic effects. Read More →

Northeast Colorado Extreme Rains Interpreted in a Climate Change Context

December 2013
Martin Hoerling, Klaus Wolter, Judith Perlwitz, Xiaowei Quan, Jon Eischeid, Hailan Wang, Siegfried Schubert, Henry Diaz, Randall Dole
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
This article suggests that the probability for an extreme five-day September rainfall event over northeast Colorado, as was observed in early September 2013, has likely decreased due to climate change. Read More →

Shifts in the Seasonal Distribution of Deaths in Australia, 1968–2007

April 2013
Charmian M. Bennett, Keith B. G. Dear, Anthony J. McMichael
International Journal of Biometeorology
This study examines the ratio of summer to winter deaths in Australia with a background of rising average annual temperature over four decades, and finds that change has been driven more by reduced winter mortality than by increased summer mortality.Read More →
