Weather and Climate Extremes
Author: Thomas R. Karl
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401592659
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 343
Book Description
Are extreme weather events becoming more common? How do extreme weather events impact society? These are critical questions that must be examined as we confront the possibility that the world will experience a change in climate over the next century. Much of the research in climatology over the past decade has focused on potential changes in long- term averages of temperature, precipitation and other factors. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that changes in average values will be accompanied by changes in extreme events. Furthermore, extreme weather events will impact society to a greater extent as people around the world continue to locate in more hazard-prone areas such as coastal zones. This book represents a major step forwards in developing a comprehensive set of information about changes in extreme events by providing a review of the problems in data availability, quality and analysis that make deriving a clear picture of world-wide changes in extreme events so difficult. Audience: The book is intended for policy-makers, professionals, graduate students and others interested in learning how extreme weather events have changed, and how they impact society both now and in the future.

A Bibliography of Weather and Climate Hazards
Author: William Riebsame Travis
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Climatic extremes
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
This bibliography provides a selection of research literature focused on the socioeconomic impacts of weather and climate extremes and the value of mitigation actions such as forecasts and warnings, community preparedness, and emergency response and recovery. The bibliography is organized by specific hazards, followed by a section of "multi-hazard" references. An index beginning on page 400 provides cross-reference to selected social and economic aspects of weather and climate phenomena
