Climate extremes and climate change: The Russian heat wave and other climate extremes of 2010
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2012A global perspective is developed on a number of high impact climate extremes in 2010 through diagnostic studies of the anomalies, diabatic heating, and global energy and water cycles that demonstrate relationships among variables and across events. Natural variability, especially ENSO, and global warming from human influences together resulted in very

Projection of climate extremes in China, an incremental exercise from CMIP5 to CMIP6
Science Bulletin, 2021 This paper presents projections of climate extremes over China under global warming of 1.5, 2, and 3 °C above pre-industrial (1861-1900), based on the latest Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6) simulations.

Climate Extremes and Compound Hazards in a Warming World
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2020Climate extremes threaten human health, economic stability, and the well-being of natural and built environments (e.g., 2003 European heat wave). As the world continues to warm, climate hazards are expected to increase in frequency and intensity.

Joint behaviour of climate extremes across India: Past and future
Journal of Hydrology, 2021 Climate change significantly influences the global hydrological cycle and consequently affects climatic extremes. Therefore, the present study focuses upon the varying patterns of climate extremes across India for past and future.

Regional Climate Sensitivity of Climate Extremes in CMIP6 Versus CMIP5 Multimodel Ensembles
Earth's Future, 2020 We analyze projected changes in climate extremes (extreme temperatures and heavy precipitation) in the multimodel ensembles of the fifth and sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Projects (CMIP5 and CMIP6).

Climate extremes and the carbon cycle
Nature, 2013The terrestrial biosphere is a key component of the global carbon cycle and its carbon balance is strongly influenced by climate. Continuing environmental changes are thought to increase global terrestrial carbon uptake. But evidence is mounting that climate extremes such as droughts or storms can lead to a decrease in regional ecosystem carbon stocks ...

Global response of terrestrial gross primary productivity to climate extremes.
Science of the Total Environment, 2021Extreme climate events undoubtedly have essential impacts on ecosystem gross primary productivity (GPP), but the global spatio-temporal patterns of GPP responses to climate extremes are unclear.

Impacts of climate extremes on ecosystem metrics in southwest China
Science of the Total Environment, 2021Due to global warming, climate extremes are increasing significantly, which is greatly impacting ecosystems dynamics. Identified as a key ecological area, southwest China (SWC) has experienced frequent extreme climatic events.

Natural disasters and extreme weather events have been of great societal importance throughout history and often brought everyday life to a catastrophic halt, in a way sometimes comparable to wars and epidemics, only without the lead time. Extreme weather events with large impacts serve as an anchor point of the collective memory of the population in ...

Climate models and climate extremes
Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 2002Climate change will alter expectations about the future to such an extent that past statistics about averages, variability and extremes will no longer be relevant. Scenarios of the future depend upon the rate of greenhouse gas increases (and changes in aerosol distributions) in the atmosphere, and are best produced by coupled ocean-atmosphere climate ...
