Description:Extreme weather and climate events, including hurricanes [1,2], typhoons [3], cyclones [4], atmospheric rivers [5], extratropical cyclones [6] and extreme precipitation events [7], can cause tremendous economic losses. The scientific understanding of the physical drivers controlling these extreme events will thus be important for improving the predictive skill regarding extreme events across different time scales.
The publications in this Special Issue [8,9,10,11] contribute to understand the physical mechanisms underpinning the occurrence frequency of these extremes, to detect and attribute changes in extreme weather, to disentangle the physical drivers of the extreme events on multiple time scales, to improve model capabilities of simulating and predicting extreme events, and to assess their socioeconomic impacts. In this Special Issue, four papers have been published, including hurricanes and cyclones, extreme precipitation, and high-resolution simulation of extreme events using state-of-the-art climate models. Each work is discussed below.
