Extreme events and event attribution (Matilde Rusticucci, Peter Stott,
Dough Nychka)
Many of the impacts of climate change will be felt through extreme
events. As a result, the scientific community faces an increasing demand
for regularly updated appraisals of the causes of extreme weather
events. However this poses considerable challenges: in determing from
the observational record whether there have been significant changes in
the frequency of extreme events, and in attributing any such changes to
natural or anthropogenic drivers.
This session will bring together researchers in observations,
statistical techniques and climate modelling.
