Climate Extremes and the Length of Gestation

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2011
Although future climate is predicted to have more extreme heat conditions, the available evidence on the impact of these conditions on pregnancy length is very scarce and inconclusive.We investigated the impact of maternal short-term exposure to extreme ambient heat on the length of pregnancy.This study was based on a cohort of births that occurred in ...

Enhanced multi-year predictability after El Niño and La Niña events

Nature Communications, 2023
Several aspects of regional climate including near-surface temperature and precipitation are predictable on interannual to decadal time scales. Despite indications that some climate states may provide higher predictability than others, previous studies ...

Global hotspots for the occurrence of compound events

Nature Communications, 2020
Compound climate events such as floods and droughts together can cause severe socio-economic impacts. Here, the authors analyse global hazard pairs from 1980–2014 and find global hotspots for the occurrence of compound events.

Exploring how groundwater buffers the influence of heatwaves on vegetation function during multi-year droughts [PDF]

Earth System Dynamics, 2021
The co-occurrence of droughts and heatwaves can have significant impacts on many socioeconomic and environmental systems. Groundwater has the potential to moderate the impact of droughts and heatwaves by moistening the soil and enabling vegetation to ...

The future of extreme climate in Iran [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractIran is experiencing unprecedented climate-related problems such as drying of lakes and rivers, dust storms, record-breaking temperatures, droughts, and floods. Here, we use the ensemble of five high-resolution climate models to project maximum and minimum temperatures and rainfall distribution, calculate occurrences of extreme temperatures ...

The Impact of Climate on Hydrological Extremes [PDF]

Water, 2018
High and low flows and associated floods and droughts are extreme hydrological phenomena mainly caused by meteorological anomalies and modified by catchment processes and human activities. They exert increasing on human, economic, and natural environmental systems around the world.

Understanding Weather and Climate Extremes

, 2021
The understanding of weather and climate extremes provides academics, decision makers, international development agencies, nongovernmental organizations and civil society the necessary information for monitoring and giving early warning to prevent or minimize the risks associated with weather related hazards.

Evaluating the land-surface energy partitioning in ERA5 [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2020
Climate reanalyses provide a plethora of global atmospheric and surface parameters in a consistent manner over multi-decadal timescales. Hence, they are widely used in many fields, and an in-depth evaluation of the different variables provided by ...

The impact of climate change and climate extremes on sugarcane production [PDF]

GCB Bioenergy, 2021
AbstractSugarcane production supports the livelihoods of millions of small‐scale farmers in developing countries, and the bioenergy needs of millions of consumers. Yet, future sugarcane yields remain uncertain due to differences in climate projections, and because the sensitivity of sugarcane ecophysiology to individual climate drivers (i.e ...
