Description for Climate Variability and Extremes During the Past 100 Years
Hardback. Presents an overview of climate variability during the 20th century in the context of natural and anthropogenic variability. This book compiles a number of contributions to a workshop held in Gwatt, Switzerland, in July 2006 dealing with different aspects of climate change, variability, and extremes during the past 100 years. Series: Advances in Global Change Research. Num Pages: 364 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 20. Weight in Grams: 736.
Large progress has been made in the past few years towards quantifying and understanding climate variability during past centuries. At the same time, present-day climate has been studied using state-of-the-art data sets and tools with respect to the physical and chemical mechanisms governing climate variability. Both the understanding of the past and the knowledge of the processes are important for assessing and attributing the anthropogenic effect on present and future climate. The most important time period in this context is the past approximately 100 years, which comprises large natural variations and extremes (such as long droughts) as well as anthropogenic ...

Reviews for Climate Variability and Extremes During the Past 100 Years
"This volume brings together a fascinating and varied set of papers on climatic variability and change. The papers highlight what modellers can learn by greater study of observations, while the latter were informed about the types of observations required to reduce model uncertainties." Phil Jones, University of East Anglia "The authors of this volume extend ... Read more
