Seasonal variability of wind climate in Hungary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
One of the most important effects of climate variability and climate change may come from changes in the intensity and frequency of climatic extremes.

Climate extremes and the role of dynamics [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013
One of the most societally important manifestations of climate change is the changing frequency and amplitude of extreme weather and climate events. A simple conceptual picture of why climate change may lead to an increase in weather extremes is that as the atmosphere warms, the specific humidity of the air increases, and in regions of enhanced latent ...

Climate Extremes and Society [PDF]

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2009
In October 2005, as the United States still was reeling from Hurricane Katrina in August and as the alphabet was too short to contain all of that year's named Atlantic tropical storms (Hurricane Wilma was forming near Jamaica), a timely workshop in Bermuda focused on climate extremes and society (see Eos, 87(3), 25, 17 January 2006).

GLEAM4: global land evaporation and soil moisture dataset at 0.1° resolution from 1980 to near present

open access: yesScientific Data
Terrestrial evaporation plays a crucial role in modulating climate and water resources. Here, we present a continuous, daily dataset covering 1980–2023 with a 0.1°spatial resolution, produced using the fourth generation of the Global Land Evaporation ...

A joint role for forced and internally-driven variability in the decadal modulation of global warming

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Global mean sea surface surface temperature shows decadal fluctuations superimposed to the warming trend whose causes are still debated. Here, the authors provide a quantification of relative contributions of different drivers and conclude that both ...

Estimating changes in temperature extremes from millennial scale climate simulations using generalized extreme value (GEV) distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Changes in extreme weather may produce some of the largest societal impacts of anthropogenic climate change. However, it is intrinsically difficult to estimate changes in extreme events from the short observational record.

Relationship Between Neurologic Symptoms and Signs and FMR1 Genotype in Premutation Carriers

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Fragile X‐associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS) is the most severe late‐onset condition caused by a premutation in the FMR1 gene, characterized by expanded CGG triplet repeats of 55–200. Clinical presentations of FXTAS, including gait ataxia, kinetic tremor, cognitive decline, and rare Parkinsonism, are linked to ...

Simulating Impacts of Extreme Weather Events on Urban Transport Infrastructure in the UK [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Urban areas face many risks from future climate change and their infrastructure will be placed under more pressure due to changes in climate extremes.

The timing of anthropogenic emergence in simulated climate extremes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Determining the time of emergence of climates altered from their natural state by anthropogenic influences can help inform the development of adaptation and mitigation strategies to climate change.

Biodiversity and Climate Extremes: Known Interactions and Research Gaps

open access: yesEarth's Future
Climate extremes are on the rise. Impacts of extreme climate and weather events on ecosystem services and ultimately human well‐being can be partially attenuated by the organismic, structural, and functional diversity of the affected land surface ...
