Average climatic events describe the occurrence of weather or climate at an average value,
whereas extreme events are defined as events that exceed the upper or lower threshold …

Abstract Model projections of heavy precipitation and temperature extremes include large
uncertainties. We demonstrate that the disagreement between individual simulations …
