Workshop: "Weather and Climate Extremes During the Past 100 years". Diessenhofen, Switzerland 7-9 June 2010
NEW: DEADLINE EXTENSION TO 30 APR 2010
Weather and climate extremes have a large impact on economy and society. Consequently, there is a growing need for knowledge on the processes leading to extremes, a need for suitable data products that allow analyzing extremes, a need for model systems capable of reproducing extremes, and most importantly a need for methods and techniques for assessing and evaluating extremes and for communicating and cooperating across disciplinary boundaries. The workshop will address these points by taking a broad perspective that covers not only weather and climate extremes such as droughts, floods, wind storms, and hurricanes, but also extremes in chemical climate, in land-surface processes, in the oceans, and the sea ice. A substantial part of the presentation will be invited, but we welcome contributions (oral or poster) in all aforementioned areas. The workshop is a follow-up of the successful workshops "Climate variability and extremes during the past 100 years" (Gwatt, 2006) and "Variability of the global atmospheric circulation during the past 100 years" (Monte Verità, 2008) and is sponsored by NCCR Climate.
