Heat extremes in Western Europe warmed faster than simulated. Our new Nature Communications paper led by @RobertVautard shows that this due to more frequent southerly flows, an observed atmospheric circulation trend, which is larger than in climate models. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our Xaida Project paper led by @RobertVautard is out in Nature Communications: European heat extremes are increasing very fast due to more frequent southerly flows. Worryingly, climate models fail to capture these circulation changes


Our new study in Communications Earth & Environment shows that circulation dampened the trend in heat extreme intensity over the Midwestern US, whereas it amplified the trend over Western Europe, at a rate outside the range of most models. Erich Fischer Sebastian Sippel D-USYS@ETH rdcu.be/drQ5M

🚨 Fehler in einer häufig verwendeten Metrik zur Detektion von Hitzewellen enteckt! In unserer Studie in Nature Communications (Nature Communications) zeigen wird, dass relative Temperaturextreme (sogennante TX90p Events) unterschätzt werden. 1/🧵 doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Increasing probability of record-shattering precipitation Higher precipitation variability in a warming climate amplifies the probability of record-shattering extreme precipitation as shown in our new study led by Iris de Vries.

Neue Studie von Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry & #UniLeipzig: CO₂-Anstieg reagierte seit 1959 doppelt so stark auf tropische Temperaturen wie zuvor. Häufigere und starke El Niño-Ereignisse, nicht allein der Klimawandel, könnten Grund sein: uni-leipzig.de/newsdetail/art… #ElNiño #CO2 #Klimawandel #Forschung


New Study conducted by Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry and #UniLeipzig: After 1959, #CO₂ content in the atmosphere responded twice as strongly to tropical temperatures than before. Not just climate change, but also more frequent and strong #ElNiño events could be the reason: uni-leipzig.de/en/newsdetail/…


🔥 Die #WarmingStripes auf der Sachsenbrücke in #Leipzig sind zurück! Seit dieser Woche sind die Arbeiten für die Wiederherstellung mit der dickeren Farbe abgeschlossen! Wir freuen uns riesig und am 26.10. machen wir eine kleine Aktion vor Ort, also gern schon mal vormerken. 🗓️✍️
