Climate Extremes and Their Implications for Impact and Risk Assessment

Climate Extremes and Their Implications Across Sectors connects models for predicting the potential of climatic events and the impact modelling that forecasts the potential destruction of such events. It provides introductory chapters on weather and climate extremes indicators and impact-relevant indicators, measures for bias correction of climate model output, relevant climate scenarios. It also includes various examples of applications in impact modelling studies and recent efforts of impact model-intercomparison studies. Climate Extremes and Their Implications Across Sectors provides practical applications of interest to individuals working in a variety of industries including energy, agriculture, transportation and health. Provides a comprehensive overview of current knowledge of the impacts of weather and climate extremesFeatures applications of modelling weather and climate extremes across a diversity of industries including: agriculture, health, ecosystem services and energyDescribes recent efforts of impact model-intercomparison studies INDICE: 1.
