1 online resource (viii, 291 pages) : illustrations, maps
"[P]resents the fundamentals and advances in the science of weather and climate extremes, building on the existing knowledge using regional and global case studies. This book provides an analysis of historical and future changes, physical processes, measurements, space-time variability, socioeconomic impacts, and risk management. It provides policymakers, researchers, and students working in climate change with a thorough reference for understanding the diverse impacts of extreme weather and climate changes on varying geographic scales. With contributions from experts across the globe, the book utilizes methods, case studies, modeling, and analysis to present valuable, up-to-date knowledge about the interaction of climate change, weather, and the many implications of the changing environment"--Page 4 of cover.
