Arctic browning: extreme events and trends reversing arctic greening.
NOAA’s recent assessment of Arctic greenness has reported a remarkable finding: the Arctic is browning (Epstein et al., 2015). Whilst a clear greening trend has been apparent for most of the satellite record’s 33 year history (indicating an increase in biomass and productivity), there is now an overall decline in greenness from 2011 to 2014. If this is a new direction of travel for arctic veget...
متن کاملVariability of Extreme Temperature in the Arctic – Observation and RCM
This paper discusses results of a simulation with the regional climate model HIRHAM for 1958-2001, driven by the ECMWF reanalysis (ERA40) data over the Arctic domain. The aim is to analyze the ability of the model to capture certain features of climate extremes derived from daily mean, maximum and minimum temperatures. For this purpose, a range of climate indices (frost days, cold and warm spel...
متن کاملClimate-Induced Extreme Hydrologic Events in the Arctic
The objectives were (i) to evaluate the relationship between recent climate change and extreme hydrological events and (ii) to characterize the behavior of hydrological events along the Alazeya River. The warming rate of air temperature observed at the meteorological station in Chersky was 0.0472 ◦C·year−1, and an extraordinary increase in air temperatures was observed in 2007. However, data fr...
متن کاملExtreme events: trends and risk assessment methodologies
In this chapter we discuss extreme weather events as they relate to climate adaptation. First, we summarize the state of the science regarding how different kinds of extreme events have been or will be influenced by global warming. Second, we describe the different kinds of tools that exist for extreme event hazard assessment. These include extreme value theory, which allows inference of rare e...
متن کاملObserved Variability and Trends in Extreme Climate Events: A Brief Review
Variations and trends in extreme climate events have only recently received much attention. Exponentially increasing economic losses, coupled with an increase in deaths due to these events, have focused attention on the possibility that these events are increasing in frequency. One of the major problems in examining the climate record for changes in extremes is a lack of high-quality, long-term...
