Funded Activity Summary

How far in advance can we predict extreme temperature and rainfall events? The occurrence of extreme temperature and precipitation events undergoes substantial seasonal to decadal variability, but little is known about their predictability. This project aims to examine variability and predictability of these climatic extremes and associated mechanisms. It will be the first to systematically investigate sources of predictability by incorporating the most comprehensive novel databases of both multi-model decadal climate simulations and observed climate extremes. This study is significant as it will lead to a vastly improved understanding of variability and predictability of climate extremes. This will enable improved climate predictions on seasonal to decadal timescales and ultimately improve longer-term projections.
