An Initialized Attribution Method for Extreme Events on Subseasonal to Seasonal Time Scales
This paper describes a method to attribute extreme weather and climate events to observed increases in atmospheric CO2 using an initialized subseasonal to seasonal coupled global climate prediction system.Read More →
Changes in annual extreme temperature and heat indices in Limpopo province: period 1941–2016
Statistically significant warming trends at 5 of 10 climate stations within the Limpopo province in South Africa were observed from 1941-2016.Read More →
Potential linkages of extreme climate events with vegetation and large-scale circulation indices in an endorheic river basin in northwest China
Extreme climate indices were significantly correlated with vegetation types and large-scale circulation indices in the HRB.Read More →
Extreme heat and stock market activity
Empirical analyses show that, on average, trading volumes fall significantly (between 4% and 10%) when maximum daily temperatures exceed 30 °C (86 °F).Read More →
Increasing trends in regional heatwaves
Trends in heatwave frequency, duration and cumulative heat have accelerated since the 1950s.Read More →
Physical Understanding of Human-Induced Changes in U.S. Hot Droughts Using Equilibrium Climate Simulations
Summertime drought–heat-wave relationships have changed significantly over the southern and southwestern United States because of anthropogenic climate change since the late nineteenth century.Read More →
Concurrent 2018 Hot Extremes Across Northern Hemisphere Due to Human‐Induced Climate Change
Results show the 2018 north hemispheric concurrent heat events were influenced by anthropogenic warming and further reveal that the average high-exposure area to concurrent warm and hot spells in the Northern Hemisphere will increase with warming.Read More →
The Role of Natural Variability and Anthropogenic Climate Change in the 2017/18 Tasman Sea Marine Heatwave
This article describes the record sea surface temperatures during the 2017/18 Tasman Sea marine heatwave and how climate models indicate that they were virtually impossible without anthropogenic influence. Read More →
