Great event in Cambridge @CamGlobCon on how financial markets might respond to #ClimateChange and #extremeweather. Nonlinearity: Both climate and markets can behave in abrupt ways. @JoeriRogelj @LeroyWesterling @robertgibbins14 @klaus_lackner

[Dim Coumou @DimCoumou]

...now, using latest suite of global climate models, we showed that this weakening is due to human emissions

📢New paper out with Rei Chemke and myself. For the first time we show that #AGW has caused the weakening of summer circulation, including jetstream and stormtracks. Important implications for summer #drought. @VU_IVM @VU_Science

Almost 10 years ago, we showed @PIK_Climate that summer circulation in the northern hemisphere is weakening, including jetstream and stormtracks

Our @XaidaProject paper led by @RobertVautard is out in @NatureComms: European heat extremes are increasing very fast due to more frequent southerly flows. Worryingly, climate models fail to capture these circulation changes

[Erich Fischer @erichfischer]

Heat extremes in Western Europe warmed faster than simulated. Our new @NatureComms paper led by @RobertVautard shows that this due to more frequent southerly flows, an observed atmospheric circulation trend, which is larger than in climate models.

Het was een extreme zomer op het noordelijk halfrond. Maar veruit de grootste klimaatramp viel in september: >1m regen in Griekenland, duizenden doden in Libië. Hoe kon dit gebeuren?? En is dit ook mogelijk in Nederland? Met @Bloemendaal_N & @DimCoumou:

Impressive double jet pattern over Eurasia over the past weeks.

In our recent @NatureComms paper we show how positive trends in this pattern made Western Europe a #heatwave hotspot. @syn_efou @DimCoumou

Dangerous #heatwave in southern Europe this week. #ClimateChange is a strong amplifier! Here my interview on Dutch television yesterday

[Nieuwsuur @Nieuwsuur]

Hoogleraar klimaatextremen @DimCoumou over de hitte in Zuid-Europa: “Hittegolven vonden ook 100 jaar geleden plaats, maar de kans op extreme temperaturen neemt heel sterk toe. Wereldwijd komen hittegolven nu ongeveer 10 keer vaker voor.” #Nieuwsuur

[Dim Coumou @DimCoumou]

Great paper by @raedhamed1 showing how causal analyses of large #climate and #harvest data can be used to understand teleconnections and joint #breadbasket failures

[Raed Hamed @raedhamed1]

📢How can Persistent La Niñas drive joint soybean harvest failures in North and South America? 🤔

Great science @raedhamed1 and very timely given the current triple #LaNina! Curious to see how this years #ENSO will develop. #soybeans

'De veranderingen in de straalstroom verklaren de stijgende trend in hittegolven in West-Europa en waarschijnlijk ook de recente grote bosbranden in Siberië, ontdekte @DimCoumou (@Vuamsterdam). Hij vertelt over zijn doorbraak in onderzoek in NWO's magazine https://t.co/1ZY7Y3JepI

Intuitively resample your data for ML applications? 𝐥𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐨, a new light-weight Python Package can aggregate @xarray_dev and @pandas_dev data to complex ‘forecast calendar types’.

[Verenigde Naties @VN_benelux_nl]

De nood aan innovatieve oplossingen voor de #klimaatcrisis groeit, universiteiten kunnen hier een belangrijke rol spelen.

In de aanloop naar #COP27, interviewden we wetenschappers van 3 projecten bij de @UAntwerpen en de @VUamsterdam.

Recently, @syn_efou et al showed how changes in the #jetstream are linked to very rapid increases in #heatwaves in w-EU. In our new Science study by @RCScholten et al shows that the same jetstream changes cause massive #wildfires in Siberia. #snowmelt is important too. See 👇👇

@RobertVautard @wxrisk @XaidaProject We are planning several follow-up attribution and process-based analyses on the 2022 drought within the @XaidaProject. Stay tuned!
