A new reanalysis-based approach is proposed to examine how extreme weather events differ in a warmer or cooler counter-factual world. This approach offers a novel way to develop plausible storylines for some types of extreme event that other methods may not be suitable ...
Severe weather refers to events such as tornadoes, hurricanes, major snowstorms, large hail, and major thunderstorms that may result in property damage or risk to human life. How is weather different from climate? Weather is day-to-day conditions, measured on specific dates, while climate refers...
It's easy to say the world wouldn't be where it is today without the significant events that transpired throughout the 20th century. These important ...
as well as smaller one in 1942107(max M 7.2 and 6.8). In Lake Pounui, these events were concomitant with the discrete appearance ofSynechococcusafter these two events, and post 1855 there was a shift toDolichospermumwhich is now dominating the cyanobacteria community. However, Europeans also s...
An analysis of historical Sun–Earth connection events in the context of the most extreme space weather events of the last \(\sim150\) years is presented. To identify the key factors leading to these extreme events, a sample of the most important geomagnetic storms was selected based mainly ...
tornadoes in Central Europe (T.Kühne, G.Pistotnik, E.Wesolek, P.Mahieu, A.Surowiecki) With the foundation of the European Severe Storm Laboratory (ESSL, 2002) and the establishment of the European Severe Weather Database (ESWD, 2004), severe storm events could be listed from all over ...
This control is weaker in simpler topography, and may be compromised in a future climate with more severe weather events.doi:10.1007/s10980-010-9527-5Maureen C. KennedyDonald McKenzieSpringer NetherlandsLandscape EcologyKennedy, M. C., & McKenzie, D. Using a stochastic model and cross-scale ...
We used historical examples to illustrate the magnitude of damage to food systems caused by extreme seasonal heat and show that these short-run events could become long-term trends without sufficient investments in adaptation. 展开 年份: 2009 ...
about the same as those for the entire population of dams: overtopping due to exceedance of the reservoir level (usually the result of severe weather phenomena), foundation effects and internal erosion, and miscellaneous other causes including poor design and maintenance, as well as seismic events...
Most of the flood events were caused by heavy rains that are largely linked to the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation with a superimposed effect of the ENSO. Discharges >30 m3/s, i.e., extraordinary and catastrophic floods, occur with positive phases of the ...
