Anthropogenic contribution to global occurrence of heavy-precipitation and high-temperature extremes
Anthropogenic contribution to global occurrence of heavy-precipitation and high-temperature extremes
Climate change includes not only changes in mean climate but also in weather extremes. For a few prominent heatwaves and heavy precipitation events a human contribution to their occurrence has been demonstrated. Here we apply a similar framework but estimate what fraction of all globally occurring heavy precipitation and hot extremes is attributable to warming.
