Most of the studies cited above have focused on the consequences of long-term changes in average climate variables on tree-species selection. An important, but so far understudied, aspect of climate change is increasing extreme weather events, i.e., sudden, severe weather conditions such as stor...
Flash floods, Severe weatherThere is concern that extreme weather events may become stronger, more frequent, or both as the climate changes. This paper seeks more clarity in defining different types of extreme storms, and the global distribution of each type.Detailed case studies of specific ...
Extreme weather events are expected to increase in frequency and/or severity under climate change. Recent examples of these types of events, such as the he... A Wreford,WN Adger - 《International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability》 被引量: 41发表: 2010年 Effects of drought stress on agric...
With regard to drought vs. flooding, the current conditions aren't a one - off deal and could,quite likely, become a normal thing. Climate scientists and academics say that as emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases continue to push temperatures higher, severe weather in the state is likel...
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 unseasonal, and often ...
Using the city of Hannover, Germany, as a case study, we analysed the intensity of the urban heat island under unprecedented summer heat conditions in the years 2018, 2019 and 2020, which were among the hottest in Germany since weather records began. We compared the intensity of the urban ...

The hot, dry weather is a major factor behind forest fires that killed 62 people in Portugal even before June solstice, while temperatures are also much above average and high in east Siberia and far east regions. In North America, extreme heat is scorching the American West and western Canad...
(e.g., droughts) may be the result of an accumulation of weather or climate events that are not extreme when considered independently. Many extreme weather and climate events continue to be the result of natural climate variability. Natural variability will be an important factor in shaping ...
statistical downscaling of a new generation of reanalysis data, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) ERA537,38. We bias-adjust and downscale a set of previously bias-adjusted and statistical downscaled data sets of phase 3 of ISIMIP (ISIMIP3b39) to a0.25∘×0....
