Forecasting and early warning systems are important investments to protect lives, properties,
and livelihood. While early warning systems are frequently used to predict the magnitude …

The literature on atmospheric particulate matter (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased
enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500–2000 papers per year …

Future changes in extratropical cyclones and the associated storm tracks are uncertain.
Using the new CMIP6 models, we investigate changes to seasonal mean storm tracks and …

Climate models have continued to be developed and improved since the AR4, and many
models have been extended into Earth System models by including the representation of …

The representation of the Northern Hemisphere (NH) storm tracks and jet streams and their
response to climate change have been evaluated in climate model simulations from Phases …

This chapter assesses the causes of observed changes assessed in Chapters 2 to 5 and
uses understanding of physical processes, climate models and statistical approaches. The …

A changing climate can lead to changes in the frequency, intensity or duration of an extreme
event, or result in an 3 unprecedented, previously unobserved, extreme. As well, a weather …

The ostensibly large number of recent extreme weather events has triggered intensive
discussions, both in-and outside the scientific community, on whether they are related to …

Mangroves provide vital ecosystem services at the dynamic interface between land and
oceans. Recent reports of mangrove mortality suggest that mangroves may be adversely …

Observation and model-based studies have identified the Mediterranean region as one of
the most prominent climate change “hot-spots.” Parts of this distinctive region are included in …
