[Narccap-topic-extremes] NARCCAP Extremes - What are you doing?

[Bruce Anderson]

Hello everybody,

Our research focuses on two main issues:
1) Detecting historical trends in extremes, particularly precipitation and temperature
2) Monitoring and predicting future trends in extremes, particularly those that will occur in the "near" future (i.e. before the 2C global warming threshold currently bandied about in public policy discussions).

The work currently involves observational (gridded and station-based) data, along with coarse-scale global-model projections of future climate change.  Moving to regional-scale projections, however, is next on our to-do list.

All the best,
Bruce Anderson

> Dear NARCCAP "Extremers":
> It would also be good to get an overview list for our pod of what people are doing with extremes.  If you are simply interested in the topic, and just want to follow discussions, that's fine.  However, for those of you doing research with extremes, let's see what we all are doing.  So - what is your extremes-related research?
> Here at Iowa State, we have been looking primarily at daily precipitation extremes and the causal processes in both observations and the NARCCAP (and other simulations).  We have also looked at monthly precipitation extremes in the NARCCAP simulations and, in other work, are looking at daily temperature extremes.
