JPI 2019 - ROADMAP-The role of ocean dynamics and ocean-atmosphere interactions in driving climate variations and future projections of impact-relevant extreme events

acronym
JPI 2019 - ROADMAP
description

Aim of the project is to strengthen our understanding of climate variability and extremes resulting from the interactions with the oceans, and how they are affected by climate change on a range of time scales.More specifically, the project will provide an improved science based foundation of the impact of the North Atlantic Ocean on the variability of the jet stream, the North Atlantic storm track, tropical and extra-tropical cyclones and blocking events as well as associated weather and climate extremes, including their response to climate change. The project will also assess larger-scale oceanic and atmospheric anomalies that can give rise to local extreme weather conditions (surface air temperature, precipitation and wind speed). The project will thus lead to a better understanding of regional climate variability and change, as well as to more reliable predictions of regional weather and climate extremes, including statements about the frequency of occurrence of extra-tropical cyclones.
