weather@home and climateprediction.net at EGU General Assembly 2016

Weather@home and climateprediction.net are again significantly represented with both oral presentations and posters at the annual European Geophysical Union General Assembly, 17-22 April in Vienna. The Assembly provides a forum where geoscientists from all over the world can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience and is together with it’s American counterpart one of the largest conferences on climate science in the annual meeting calender.

CPDNs specific contributions this year include:

Benoit P. Guillod, Neil Massey, Friederike E. L. Otto, Myles R. Allen, Richard Jones, and Jim W. Hall

CL2.10 – Detecting and attributing climate change: trends, extreme events, and impacts

Oral – Friday 22 April, 15:30–15:45:
Fast-track extreme event attribution: How fast can we disentangle thermodynamic (forced) and dynamic (internal) contributions?
