The 2021 northwest Pacific marine heatwave was favored by the atmospheric and oceanic conditions; changes in mean climate due to anthropogenic warming made event 43 times more likely.

In June 2021, an unprecedented extreme heatwave impacted the Pacific Northwest of North America, resulting in more than 1000 excess deaths and affecting infrastructure wildlife. Predicting such events is key for preparedness early action, beyond temperature, it important to consider biometeorological forecasts, accounting effects environment on human body. The performance ECMWF's (the European ...

In many applications of time series models, such as climate analysis and social media analysis, we are often interested in extreme events, such as heatwave, wind gust, and burst of topics. These time series data usually exhibit a heavy-tailed distribution rather than a Gaussian distribution. This poses great challenges to existing approaches due to the significantly different assumptions on the...

Human emissions of greenhouse gases are already changing our climate. This paper provides an overview of the relation between climate change and weather extremes, and examines three specific cases where recent acute events have stimulated debate on the potential role of climate change: the European heatwave of 2003; the risk of inland flooding, such as recently in Central Europe and Great Brita...

Abstract Siberia experienced an unprecedented strong and persistent heatwave in winter to spring of 2020. Using bottom–up top–down approaches, we evaluated seasonal annual CO 2 fluxes 2020 the northern hemisphere (north 30 °N), focusing on where pronounced occurred. We found that, over Siberia, respiration loss response positive temperature anomaly was greater than previous years. However, cont...

A protracted period (2014-2016) of anomalously warm water in the northeast Pacific Ocean precipitated an extensive die-off common murres Uria aalge (hereafter ‘murres’) during 2015-2016, accompanied by reduced colony attendance and reproductive success black-legged kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla (‘kittiwakes’) starting 2015. Most died starvation following a large-scale reduction abundance quality ...
