A typology of compound weather and climate events

open access: yesNature Reviews Earth & Environment, 2020
<p>Weather- and climate-related extreme events such as droughts, heatwaves and storms arise from interactions between complex sets of physical processes across multiple spatial and temporal scales, often overwhelming the capacity of natural and/or human systems to cope.

Compound events from the databases

2023
Compound climate-related (or weather-related) events are complex events characterized by the interactions between various physical processes across multiple spatial and temporal scales, generated by meteorological variables, and provoking extreme impacts.

Multivariate extremes and compound events

2020
Impacts of climate events can be particularly large when multiple climate extremes coincide. If the occurrence of these extremes is not independent, risk assessments need to take dependencies into account to avoid systematic biases. Overall, many climate-related impacts are associated with a complex combination of climate drivers that interact at ...

How compound can a compound event be? Mapping the compoundness of the Gloria storm

2023
From a risk management perspective, compound events are very relevant because they can significantly increase the intensity and/or the spatial and temporal extension of the impact. Thus, depending on their magnitude, they may overwhelm the capability of emergency-response services to cope with “unusual” situations of major damage ...

Organic compounds for rare events physics

Il Nuovo Cimento C, 2021
The neutrinoless double-beta decay background in TeO2 calorimetric searches receives two main contributions. One comes from α surface contamination and the other is mainly due to 2615 keV γ's, from the 232Th chain, scattering Compton with materials close to the detectors. In order to reduce the latter γ component, we propose to replace the usual copper

Compound inland flood events

2022
Several severe flood events hit Germany in recent years, with events in 2013 and 2016 being the most destructive ones, although dynamics and flood processes were very different. While the 2013 event was a slowly rising widespread fluvial flood accompanied by some severe dike breaches, the events in 2016 were fast-onset pluvial floods, which resulted in

Extreme and compound events in lakes

Nature Reviews Earth & Environment
Extreme and compound events disrupt lake ecosystems worldwide, with their frequency, intensity and duration increasing in response to climate change. In this Review we outline evidence of the occurrence, drivers and impact of extreme and compound events in lakes. Univariate extremes, which include lake heatwaves, droughts and floods, underwater dimming
