Despite the challenges put by climate change, the occurrence of EWEs and disasters are not an ecological inevitability. In this chapter the rationale of the definition of EWE and the integration of potential consequences on people and assets in a novel wildfire classification scheme are proposed and...
This paper provides a review of the main empirical challenges involved in quantitatively estimating the impact of extreme climate events on household welfare at the micro-level. To this end, it first outlines a conceptual framework of extreme climate event damage modeling that can aid in terms of...
extreme climate events; multi extreme event composite grade index (MXCI); climate change; China1. Introduction In August 2021, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the report “Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis” [1], showing that the observed increase in ...
The meaning of EXTREME is existing in a very high degree. How to use extreme in a sentence. Synonym Discussion of Extreme.
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...
Fig. 2: Components in an Artificial Intelligence (AI) pipeline for extreme events. AI mainly exploits spatio-temporal Earth observation, reanalysis, and climate data to answer “what”-questions (top row): detection of events, prediction, and impact assessment. AI can also be used for understand...
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- ...
Climate change Health Extreme events Drought Flood Vulnerability 1. Introduction In vulnerable regions, extreme weather and climate events3 can lead to disasters with significant impacts on human and natural systems. Historically, extreme events were generally rare in any one location, with time between...
Arid Central Asia is highly vulnerable to extreme climate events. Information on potential future changes in extreme climate events in Central Asia is limi
