Minmin will lead the discussion on "A global slowdown of tropical-cyclone translation speed" byJames P. Kossin
Description:Anthropogenic warming is predicted to weaken the mean state of the large scale atmospheric circulation. This may lead to a slowdown of tropical cyclone translation speeds. A slowdown of cyclone translation is likely to increase local precipitation extremes beyond that expected from increases to mean global or...
Title:"Machine learning to improve carbon/climate feedbacks"
Abstract: We are witnessing profound changes in our observational capacity of the biosphere and atmosphere with new generations of remote sensing platforms. Simultaneously, advances in our computational capacity have allowed us to better...
Prof. Ferrari will lead the discussion on the paper by Gertler and O’Gorman titled“Changing available energy for extratropical cyclones and associated convection in Northern Hemisphere summer."
Here is a brief summary of the paper adapted from the abstract:
The circulation of the Northern Hemisphere extratropical troposphere has changed over recent decades, with marked...
Title: "A paleoclimate perspective on large-scale climate dynamics"
Abstract: We use paleoclimate proxies, such as tree-ring data, to study natural climate variability and to put current and future climatic changes in a long-term context. Climate history of the past ~1,...
Abstract: Results from the "Historical Ocean Surface Temperature: Accuracy, Characterisation and Evaluation (HOSTACE)" project will be presented. HOSTACE set out to better understand uncertainty in sea surface temperature (SST) observations and to produce a new gridded analysis of monthly SST from 1850 to present. There are many sources of bias in observations of SST that can depend on the method of observation,...
Professor Farrell will lead the discussionon the paper titled"Attribution of the 2017 northern high plains drought"by Hailan Wang, et al. (find paper here)
Professor Farrell's blurb is below.
This paper will be used to introduce a discussion on prediction and attribution of regional climate variation in response...
