Editorial: Extreme climate events: Variability, mechanisms, and numerical simulations

Annual variability in a conceptual climate model: snapshot attractors, hysteresis in extreme events, and climate sensitivity.

In a conceptual model of global atmospheric circulation, the effects of annually periodic driving are investigated. The driven system is represented in terms of snapshot attractors, which may remain fractal at all times. This is due to the transiently chaotic behavior in the regular parameter regimes of the undriven system. The driving with annual periodicity is found to be relatively fast: The...

Climate change and extreme heat events.

The association between climate change and the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events is now well established. General circulation models of climate change predict that heatwaves will become more frequent and intense, especially in the higher latitudes, affecting large metropolitan areas that are not well adapted to them. Exposure to extreme heat is already a significant public health p...

linkage between climate change and extreme events in iran

in recent years, interest in climatic extreme events (droughts, floods and heat waves) has been growing not only due to their direct impact on many socio-economic sectors, but also as climate change indicators. in this study, the behavior of extreme events is investigated using extreme climate index software (ecis) package. the trend analysis of extreme indices is applied to daily series of tem...
