Attribution of Extreme Weather Events in the Context of Climate Change

Published:January 2016

Author(s):Committee on Extreme Weather Events and Climate Change Attribution, The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine

Publisher:National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine

This report examines the science of attribution of specific extreme weather events to human-caused climate change and natural variability by reviewing current understanding and capabilities. Read More →

The Role of the Selection Problem and Non-Gaussianity in Attribution of Single Events to Climate Change

Published:December 2015

Author(s):Bo Christiansen

Publisher:Journal of Climate

This study explores the methodological issues connected to the selection problem and deviations from Gaussianity that should be considered before comprehensive climate models are invoked.Read More →

Climate Change Increases the Probability of Heavy Rains Like Those of Storm Desmond in the UK—An Event Attribution Study in Near-Real Time

Published:December 2015

Author(s):G. J. van Oldenborgh, F. E. L. Otto, K. Haustein, H. Cullen

Publisher:Hydrology and Earth Systems Sciences

This study finds that anthropogenic climate change makes one-day precipitation events averaged over an area encompassing northern England and southern Scotland about 40% more likely.Read More →

Evidence for Added Value of Convection-Permitting Models for Studying Changes in Extreme Precipitation

Published:December 2015

Author(s):Edmund P. Meredith, Douglas Maraun, Vladimir A. Semenov, Wonsun Park

Publisher:JGR Atmospheres

This study explore the added value of convection‐permitting models by comparing the response of the extreme precipitation to a wide range of SST forcings in an ensemble of regional climate model simulations using parametrized and explicit convection.Read More →

The 2014 Drought in the Horn of Africa: Attribution of Meteorological Drivers

Published:December 2015

Author(s):T. R. Marthews, F. E. L. Otto, D. Mitchell, S. J. Dadson, R. G. Jones

Publisher:Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society

Ensemble modeling of the East African 2014 long rains season suggests no anthropogenic influence on the likelihood of low rainfall but clear signals in other drivers of drought.Read More →

Hurricane Gonzalo and Its Extratropical Transition to a Strong European Storm

Published:December 2015

Author(s):Frauke Feser, Monika Barcikowska, Susanne Haeseler, Christiana Lefebvre, Martina SchubertFrisius, Martin Stendel, Hans von Storch, Matthias Zahn

Publisher:Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society

After transitioning from a hurricane to an extratropical storm, Gonzalo tracked unusually far, achieving exceptional strength over Europe; however, it was within the historical range of such transforming storms.Read More →

Anomalous Tropical Cyclone Activity in the Western North Pacific in August 2014

Published:December 2015

Author(s):Lei Yang, Xin Wang, Ke Huang, Dongxiao Wang

Publisher:Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society

The absence of western North Pacific tropical cyclone activity during August 2014 was apparently related to strong easterly wind anomalies induced by combined negative intraseasonal and Pacific decadal oscillation phases.Read More →

Changes in the Geospatial Height at 500 hPa Under the Influence of External Climatic Forcings

Published:November 2015

Author(s):Nikolaos Christidis, Peter A. Stott

Publisher:Geophysical Research Letters

This study investigates the effects of climate forcings in the lower atmosphere using the geopotential height at 500 hPa, revealing the prominent role of human influence on some recent climatic changes.Read More →
