Looking at climate and weather extremes, atmospheric teleconnections and tropical - extratropical pathways. Views are my own.
- Looking for research on weather extremes in the Mediterranean? Check out our PREVENT-Improved Predictability Of Extremes Over The Mediterranean From Seasonal To Decadal Timescales HORIZON project 🌦️☀️ preventmed-climate.eu @pik-potsdam.bsky.social is leading WP5-Environmental and socioeconomic impacts

We have lost 8200 km3 of global glacier ice since 1976. The International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation, led by @wmo-global.bsky.social & @unesconow.bsky.social, aims to raise awareness & advocate action to mitigate the consequences of glacier melt.

- Reposted by Giorgia Di Capua (Ph.D.)In 10 days, it is EGU25 submission deadline! 🚨 If your work involves large-scale dynamics and extreme weather/climate events, then consider submitting your abstract to the "Atmospheric Rossby Waves and Jet Dynamics" session! 🌬️〰️🌀 Invited speakers: Peiqiang Xu (IAP) and Talia Tamarin-Brodsky (MIT)!
- This really doesn't help with rainfall extremes
- The amount of water in the atmosphere hit a record high in 2024 with 4.9% above the 1991–2020 average. This trend heightens the potential for extreme rainfall events. Explore the Global Climate Highlights 2024 report: bit.ly/40kQpcz #C3S #GCH2024

- New paper published just before Christmas 🎄 “Causal relationships and predictability of the summer East Atlantic teleconnection” by Carvalho-Oliveira et al. wcd.copernicus.org/articles/5/1...
- Understanding the mechanisms and atmospheric drivers that contribute to hot and dry compound extremes in Europe it’s a challenge that here we tackle with a causal discovery method. Great experience for me personally to work with this talented team of early career scientists
- More compounding hot and dry events in Europe—not only stronger driver, but also amplified causal link strength! It’s such a pleasant journey starting from Como summer school back to 2022. Many thanks to all my excellent coauthors and dear friends www.nature.com/articles/s43...
- #AGU24 For the first session of the day, my colleague will kindly present for me in "Heat Waves Behind the Scenes: Drivers, Mechanisms, Changes, and Impacts - A11E"
- Just in time
- Pianura padana standing out as usual

- Don’t miss Yinglin’s #AGU24 talk on nonlinear mechanisms responsabile for heatwaves at global scale 🔥🌞 having seen the dry run, I can warmly recommend
- Excited to present our latest research on the nonlinear interactive processes driving the most extreme heatwaves at #AGU! Join us for the talk on Monday morning, or feel free to connect anytime during the week if you can’t make it. @pik-potsdam.bsky.social @iiasa.ac.at @columbiaclimate.bsky.social

- Reposted by Giorgia Di Capua (Ph.D.)☀️How do heatwaves differ in their physical mechanisms? Our latest study identifies four distinct types of heatwaves, each driven by different mechanisms and exhibiting unique impacts on ecosystems and historical trends. www.nature.com/articles/s43...
