Climate change and temperature extremes
Dr. Erich M. Fischer
Socio-economic
and ecological impacts of changes in frequency and intensity of temperature extremes reach far beyond effects of mean warming. This
project assesses
changes in frequency and intensity of temperature extremes in recent decades based on observational data and uses numerical climate models
to improve our understanding on the physical mechanisms underlying
such extremes. Regional and global climate multi-model ensembles are
used to produce probabilistic scenarios of high-impact temperature
extremes in the 21st century.
