Prediction and projection of heatwaves
Heatwaves constitute a major threat to human health and ecosystems. Projected increases
in heatwave frequency and severity thus lead to the need for prediction to enhance …

Linking Arctic variability and change with extreme winter weather in the United States
The Arctic is warming at a rate twice the global average and severe winter weather is
reported to be increasing across many heavily populated mid-latitude regions, but there is …

Greenland ice sheet climate disequilibrium and committed sea-level rise
Ice loss from the Greenland ice sheet is one of the largest sources of contemporary sea-level
rise (SLR). While process-based models place timescales on Greenland's deglaciation, their …

Divergent consensuses on Arctic amplification influence on midlatitude severe winter weather
The Arctic has warmed more than twice as fast as the global average since the late twentieth
century, a phenomenon known as Arctic amplification (AA). Recently, there have been …

Increased future occurrences of the exceptional 2018–2019 Central European drought under global warming
Since the spring 2018, a large part of Europe has been in the midst of a record-setting
drought. Using long-term observations, we demonstrate that the occurrence of the 2018 …

Robust but weak winter atmospheric circulation response to future Arctic sea ice loss
The possibility that Arctic sea ice loss weakens mid-latitude westerlies, promoting more
severe cold winters, has sparked more than a decade of scientific debate, with apparent …
