Understanding and managing connected extreme events
Colin Raymond,Colin Raymond,Radley M. Horton,Jakob Zscheischler,Olivia Martius,Amir AghaKouchak,Jennifer K. Balch,Steven G. Bowen,Suzana J. Camargo,Jeremy J. Hess,Kai Kornhuber,Michael Oppenheimer,Alex C. Ruane,Thomas Wahl,Kathleen D. White +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a multidisciplinary argument for the concept of connected extreme events is presented, and vantage points and approaches for producing climate information useful in guiding decisions about them are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extreme weather events in early summer 2018 connected by a recurrent hemispheric wave-7 pattern
Kai Kornhuber,Scott Osprey,Dim Coumou,Dim Coumou,Stefan Petri,Vladimir Petoukhov,Stefan Rahmstorf,Lesley J. Gray +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that some of these extremes were connected by an amplified hemisphere-wide wavenumber 7 circulation pattern, which constitutes an important teleconnection in Northern Hemisphere summer associated with prolonged and above-normal temperatures in North America, Western Europe and the Caspian Sea region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Anthropogenic Climate Change on Planetary Wave Resonance and Extreme Weather Events
Michael E. Mann,Stefan Rahmstorf,Kai Kornhuber,Byron A. Steinman,Sonya K. Miller,Dim Coumou,Dim Coumou +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a specific fingerprint in the zonal mean surface temperature profile that is associated with quasi-resonant amplification of synoptic-scale waves with that wavenumber range becoming trapped within an effective mid-latitude atmospheric waveguide was identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amplified Rossby waves enhance risk of concurrent heatwaves in major breadbasket regions
Kai Kornhuber,Kai Kornhuber,Dim Coumou,Dim Coumou,Elisabeth Vogel,Corey Lesk,Jonathan F. Donges,Jonathan F. Donges,Jascha Lehmann,Radley M. Horton +9 more
TL;DR: This article showed that Rossby waves with wavenumbers 5 and 7 have a preferred phase position and constitute recurrent atmospheric circulation patterns in summer, which can induce simultaneous heat extremes in specific regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Summer weather becomes more persistent in a 2 °C world
Peter Pfleiderer,Peter Pfleiderer,Carl-Friedrich Schleussner,Carl-Friedrich Schleussner,Kai Kornhuber,Kai Kornhuber,Dim Coumou,Dim Coumou +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report systematic increases in the persistence of boreal summer weather in a multi-model analysis of a world 2'°C above pre-industrial compared to present-day climate.
