| Summary: | "A state-of-the-art compilation of observational and modeling issues underlying the science of tropical extremes. Illuminates the role of natural variability and climate change in determining the fate and state of tropical extremes. Offers a robust guide for analysis relating to the impacts of extremes, thus providing a potential roadmap for navigating the future of risk analysis and the water-food-energy nexus. Edited by a diverse team of global expertsIncludes contributions from leading researchers in the field, comprising the most up-to-date understanding of tropical extremes ... [F]eatures the most up-to-date information on present and future trends related to climate change and tropical extremes. Including contributions from the foremost experts in the field, this important reference addresses the science behind climate change and natural variability in relation to tropical extremes. The book also includes practical insight into modeling and observation approaches. In a warming world, the increase of weather extremes presents a scientifically complex and societally relevant challenge. The book confronts these challenges with observational evidence, modeling studies, and expected impacts. This is an essential reference for researchers, modelers, and students in the fields of climate and atmospheric science looking to better understand the causes and effects of tropical extremes and natural variability"--Print version, page 4 of cover. |
