2. Many ecological studies examining the impacts of what are deemed climate extremes, such as heat waves and severe drought, do not provide a definition of extremity, either from a statistical context based on the long-term climatic record or from the perspective of the response of the system...
1. Definition Weather vs. Climate : Weather Short-term atmospheric conditions at a specific time and place Extreme weather: refers to weather events that are significantly different from the average or usual weather patterns in a particular region. They are events that are rare, severe, or unseas...
A majority of the research conducted within EAPS can be categorized by four research foci: Atmosphere Surface Interactions; Clouds, Climate &Extreme Weather; Geology and Geophysics; and Planetary Sciences. National Academies of Sciences, Attribution ofExtreme WeatherEvents in the Context of Climate Chang...
This review article provides a synthesis and perspective on how weather and climate extreme events can play a role in influencing tipping elements and triggering tipping points in the Earth System. An example of a potential critical global tipping point, induced by climate extremes in an increasingly...
Example Sentences But the burgeoning field of “extreme event attribution” comes close. FromSeattle Times Incidentally, I’d argue that extreme event attribution gains credibility from the fact that it doesn’t always tell the same story, that sometimes it says that climate change wasn’t the cu...
These events can be largely attributed to(归因于)climate change due to human activity.Some countries are feeling the effects more than others. China, the U. S. , India, the Philippines and Indonesi a are having the highest occurrence(发生率) of extreme weather, according to the United ...
climate conditions, we analyzed the effects of single extreme events, which may better reveal the response of biotic system to climate drivers. For both spring and summer, we found down-regulated effect size of aboveground biomass when extreme climatic events occurred during the growing season. The...

Increasing concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide will almost certainly lead to changes in global mean climate1. But because—by definition—extreme events are rare, it is significantly more difficult to quantify the risk of extremes. Ensemble-based probabilistic predictions2, as used in short- ...
