A statistical physics and dynamical systems perspective on geophysical extreme events
Davide Faranda, Gabriele Messori, Tommaso Alberti +14
Statistical physics and dynamical systems theory are key tools to study high-impact geophysical events such as temperature extremes, cyclones, thunderstorms, geomagnetic storms and…
Meridional energy transport extremes and the general circulation of Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes: dominant weather regimes and preferred zonal wavenumbers
Valerio Lembo, Federico Fabiano, Vera Melinda Galfi +3
The extratropical meridional energy transport in the atmosphere is fundamentally intermittent in nature, having extremes large enough to affect the net seasonal transport. Here, we…
Interrupting vaccination policies can greatly spread SARS-CoV-2 and enhance mortality from COVID-19 disease: the AstraZeneca case for France and Italy
Davide Faranda, Tommaso Alberti, Maxence Arutkin +2
Several European countries have suspended the inoculation of the AstraZeneca vaccine out of suspicion of causing deep vein thrombosis. In this letter we report some Fermi estimates…
Robustness of competing climatic states
Charline Ragon, Valerio Lembo, Valerio Lucarini +3
The climate is a non-equilibrium system undergoing the continuous action of forcing and dissipation. Under the effect of a spatially inhomogeneous absorption of solar energy, all t…
Ranking IPCC Models Using the Wasserstein Distance
Gabriele Vissio, Valerio Lembo, Valerio Lucarini +1
We propose a methodology for intercomparing climate models and evaluating their performance against benchmarks based on the use of the Wasserstein distance (WD). This distance prov…
Beyond Forcing Scenarios: Predicting Climate Change through Response Operators in a Coupled General Circulation Model
Valerio Lembo, Valerio Lucarini, Francesco Ragone
Global Climate Models are key tools for predicting the future response of the climate system to a variety of natural and anthropogenic forcings. Here we show how to use statistical…
A new diagnostic tool for water, energy and entropy budgets in climate models
Valerio Lembo, Frank Lunkeit, Valerio Lucarini
This work presents a novel diagnostic tool for studying the thermodynamics of the climate systems with a wide range of applications, from sensitivity studies to model tuning. It in…
