Bridging the Gap from Climate to Extreme Weather: Observations, Theory, and Modeling
Bridging the Gap from Climate to Extreme Weather: Observations, Theory, and Modeling
Session ID#: 159180
Session Description:
There is a growing need to understand how extreme weather phenomena will change in the future under climate change. Such a goal requires insight into how such phenomena, including but not limited to severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, extreme precipitation, and heat waves, emerge within the climate system in general. This session seeks novel research bridging the gap between climate and extreme weather with an emphasis on understanding both the underlying climate physics that generate such events and the mechanisms by which their statistics vary across climate states, including global warming. Analyses employing a wide range of methodologies are welcome, including idealized and high-resolution climate modeling, observational and historical data analysis, and theory.
