Abstract Leeding, R. 2023. Wintertime compound extremes in Europe and North America:
from dynamics to predictability. 34 pp. Uppsala: Uppsala universitet. This thesis examines …

The repeated co‐occurrence of cold spells over Eastern North America and wet or windy
extremes over Western Continental Europe during recent winters, has led to hypothesize a …

The co-occurrence of extreme weather in geographically distinct regions can result in larger
impacts than the sum of those associated with the individual events occurring in isolation …

Recent winters have witnessed an ostensibly large number of cold spell occurrences over
Eastern North America and wet or windy weather over Western Europe. These extremes …

Applying the daily ERA-interim reanalysis data from 1979 to 2016, we found that widespread
cold (warm) wintertime extreme events in Northern Europe occurred most frequently in …

An important aspect of inevitable surprises, for the climate system, is the potential of
occurrence of compound extreme events. These can be events that occur at the same time …

Persistent warm and cold spells are often high-impact events that may lead to significant
increases in mortality and crop damage and can put substantial pressure on the power grid …

Meteorological extremes on the seasonal time scale have received increased attention due
to their relevance for society and economy. A recently developed approach to identify …

Output from a multi-millennial simulation with the CSIRO Mark 2 coupled global climatic
model has been analysed to determine the principal characteristics of extreme winters over …

Recent work has provided robust evidence for the systematic co-occurrence of wintertime
cold spells in North America and wet and windy extremes in Europe, which we term …
