Climate models come in different forms and are used to understand the Earth’s future.
The oceans’ biology and chemistry influence the climate because ocean, atmospheric and land processes are all interconnected.
This research has the potential to create RCM emulators that can efficiently downscale multiple variables simultaneously, while preserving the physical relationships between them.
Almost all catastrophic events are the consequence of multiple drivers acting together.
A multivariate event occurs when several hazards affect the same region at the same time.
A spatially compounding event occurs when several impacts occur at the same time but at different locations.
A temporally compounding event occurs when a series of hazards affects the same region, exacerbating the impact of any of the individual events.
A preconditioned compound event occurs when the impact of a hazard is exacerbated by pre-existing conditions.
We are conducting research to determine if we can forecast changes in the probability of extreme rainfall events associated with atmospheric rivers 2-6 weeks ahead.
Further understanding of the role of clouds may improve the knowledge of local atmosphere-ocean interactions, aiding the forecasting of coral bleaching events.
