climXtreme A4: Persistent Summer Extremes over Europe due to wave-Resonance Events (PERSEVERE)
ClimXtreme is a network of different research institutions in Germany with the common goal to advance research on extreme events in the context of climate change. With the framework programme Research for Sustainable Development (FONA3), the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) aims to support sustainability research in Germany. Understanding the occurrence of extreme weather and climate events will help to deal with them more effectively.
Our contribution
In our subproject PERSEVERE, the aim is to improve the physical understanding of atmospheric wave-resonance events in summer. Such events are often associated with persistent summer extremes in Europe, such as heatwaves, droughts and storms that bear important environmental and societal risks.
