The stratosphere, the layer of the atmosphere at heights between 10-50 km, is an important
source of variability for the weather and climate at the Earth's surface on timescales of weeks …

A severe cold spell with surface temperatures reaching 10 K below its climatology hit
Eurasia during late February/early March 2018. This cold spell was associated with a …

Nature-based strategies, such as wave attenuation by tidal marshes, are increasingly
proposed as a complement to mitigate the risks of failure of engineered flood defense …

The impacts of the Arctic stratospheric polar vortex (SPV) changes on wintertime
frontogenesis in the northern middle latitudes are analyzed. Both composite analysis and …

Winter storms are one of the riskiest natural hazards in Europe. They are often assessed
either from a climatology perspective or the exposed land use type. However, for accurate …

Although tidal marshes are known for their coastal defense function during storm surges, the
impact of extreme wave forcing on tidal marsh development is poorly understood. Seedling …

Severe winter windstorms are amongst the most damaging weather events for Europe and
show significant interannual variability. While surface variables (temperature, precipitation) …

Warm conveyor belts (WCBs) are dynamically important, strongly ascending and mostly
stratiform cloud-forming airstreams in extratropical cyclones. Despite the predominantly …

Extreme stratospheric polar vortex events, such as sudden stratospheric warmings (SSW) or
extremely strong polar vortex (SPV) states, can have a prolonged downward impact …

Characteristics of the Arctic stratospheric polar vortex are examined using reanalysis data
with dynamic time war** (DTW) and a clustering technique to determine whether the polar …
