Not exact matches

Each workshop had a different theme related to climate extremes, had approximately 30 attendees (the CMIP5 meeting had more than 100), and the workshops resulted in a paper.11 The first workshop was held in July 2011, titled Monitoring Changes in Extreme Storm Statistics: State of Knowledge.12 The second was held in November 2011, titled Forum on Trends and Causes of Observed Changes in Heatwaves, Coldwaves, Floods, and Drought.13 The third was held in January 2012, titled Forum on Trends in Extreme Winds, Waves, and Extratropical Storms along the Coasts.14 The fourth, the CMIP5 results workshop, was held in March 2012 in Hawai`i, and resulted in an analysis of CMIP5 results relative to climate extremes in the United States.11

My own theory is that the pelvis, at extreme hip joint positions, is designed to change shape to possible give the thighs room to move relative to the pelvis, but also to allow for slight adjustments in tension of the hip joint so that the hip joint stays integrated.

2: Our Changing Climate, Key Message 5).2 Regional climate models (RCMs) using the same emissions scenario also project increased spring precipitation (9 % in 2041 - 2062 relative to 1979 - 2000) and decreased summer precipitation (by an average of about 8 % in 2041 - 2062 relative to 1979 - 2000) particularly in the southern portions of the Midwest.12 Increases in the frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation are projected across the entire region in both GCM and RCM simulations (Figure 18.6), and these increases are generally larger than the projected changes in average precipitation.12, 2

Since extremes have small probabilities by definition, a large relative change in the probability of an extreme will seem small when it is expressed in terms of the absolute change in probability.

A recent analysis [1] by Dr Luke Harrington and Dr Friederike Otto of climateprediction.net introduces a new framework, adapted from studies of probabilistic event attribution, to disentangle the relative importance of regional climate emergence and changing population dynamics in the exposure to future heat extremes across multiple densely populated regions in Southern Asia and Eastern Africa (SAEA).

Compared to a 12 - month climate change extreme trend of +25.0 °C reached in 1878, the 30 - year trend extreme only reached a maximum of +0.72 °C (during 2003) and has now been reduced to a August 2014 30 - year trend of 0.61 °C - and relative to the 1940's, that's a trend only eight - hundredths of a degree greater.

Adapting core principles of risk assessment to climate: To date, the approach of climate change assessments has primarily been rooted in communicating relative scientific certainty and uncertainty around anticipated changes in the physical climate system, along with some basic biophysical impacts that would seem to be generally implied by those climate changes: based, for example, on general understanding of associations such as those between impacts and weather extremes.

Cannon, A.J., Sobie, S.R., Murdock, T.Q., (2015) Bias correction of simulated precipitation by quantile mapping: how well do methods preserve relative changes in quantiles and extremes?

Population growth coupled to the fact that extreme heat is the leading weather - related cause of death in the US calls for the need to identify the relative roles of natural variability and human - caused climate change on these extremes.
