TL;DR: In this article, the variability of results from different automated methods of detection and tracking of extratropical cyclones is assessed in order to identify uncertainties related to the choice of method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying the Relevance of Cyclones for Precipitation Extremes
Stephan Pfahl,Heini Wernli +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the importance of cyclones for the occurrence of regional-scale precipitation extremes is quantified globally using the ECMWF Interim reanalysis (ERA-Interim) dataset.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying the relevance of atmospheric blocking for co-located temperature extremes in the Northern Hemisphere on (sub-)daily time scales
Stephan Pfahl,Heini Wernli +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relevance of atmospheric blocking for co-located (sub-) daily temperature extremes and the spatial variability of this relationship in the Northern Hemisphere was investigated and it was shown that over large parts of the high-latitude continents warm temperature extremes often occur simultaneously with atmospheric blocking at the same location.
Journal ArticleDOI
Warm Conveyor Belts in the ERA-Interim Dataset (1979–2010): Part I: Climatology and Potential Vorticity Evolution
TL;DR: A global climatology of warm conveyor belts (WCBs) is presented for the years 1979-2010, based on trajectories calculated with Interim ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-Interim) data as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Balancing Europe’s wind-power output through spatial deployment informed by weather regimes
TL;DR: It is shown that weather regimes provide a meteorological explanation for multi-day fluctuations in Europe’s wind power and can help guide new deployment pathways which minimise this variability.
