The Hot Summer of 2010: Redrawing the Temperature Record Map of Europe
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the anomalous 2010 warmth that caused adverse impacts exceeded the amplitude and spatial extent of the previous hottest summer of 2003, which likely broke the 500-year-long seasonal temperature records over approximately 50% of Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Review of the European Summer Heat Wave of 2003
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the European summer heat wave of 2003, with special emphasis on the first half of August 2003, jointly with its significant societal and environmental impact across Western and Central Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Climatology of Northern Hemisphere Blocking
TL;DR: In this article, a 55-yr (1948-2002) Northern Hemisphere blocking climatology is presented and a new blocking detection method is designed, which detects blocked flows and provides for a better characterization of blocking events with additional information on blocking parameters such as the location of the blocking center, the intensity, and extension.

TL;DR: In this paper, 19 analyses by 18 different research groups, often using quite different methodologies, of 12 extreme events that occurred in 2012 are presented, and the differences also provide insights into the structural uncertainty of event attribution, the uncertainty that arises directly from the differences in analysis methodology.

Trends and extremes of drought indices throughout the 20th century in the Mediterranean
Pedro Sousa,Ricardo M. Trigo,Ricardo M. Trigo,P. Aizpurua,Raquel Nieto,Raquel Nieto,Luis Gimeno,Ricardo García-Herrera +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified version of the Mann-Kendall test was used to analyze the spatial and temporal evolution of drought conditions in the Mediterranean during the 20th century, with results pointing towards a significant decline of absolute extreme values in central areas (Italy and Balkans) and a less clear picture emerging in western (Iberia) and eastern (Turkey) realms.
