Abstract:
Some of the most consequential outcomes of global warming for societies and
ecosystems are changes in extreme events. Comparing 2000-2019 with
1980-1999, extreme temperature and flood events have more than doubled
globally while the number of disastrous storms and droughts has increased
by 30-50%. While the nonlinear increase in latent energy with warmer
surface air temperature may explain the global increasing trends in weather
extremes, credible projections of the regional changes in extreme events
and changes in different types of extreme events remain challenging, partly
because of model limitations in simulating the extreme events. In this
presentation, I will discuss some recent advances in modeling extreme
events and their future changes. Using a hierarchy of different modeling
approaches, we investigate how mesoscale convective systems, atmospheric
rivers, and hurricanes may respond to global warming and connect future
storm changes to changes in the storm environments.


We hope to see you there!


 Cheers,
