High Impact Weather Events in Eurazia: selected, simulated, storified
This project develops story-lines about extreme climate events with high impact in Eurazia with collaborators in the UK, Norway, India and China. Historical data and large climate model ensembles will form the basis for powerful stories about how climate affects society and vice versa, how different regions are connected by large-scale climate events and how extreme weather can be, now and in a warmer world . Special emphasis will be on the predictability of such large-scale, high-impact climate events. Active collaboration is sought with impact modellers.
