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…
Agnostic detection of large-scale weather patterns in the northern hemisphere: from blockings to teleconnections
Sebastian Springer, Vera Melinda Galfi, Alessandro Laio +1
Detecting recurrent weather patterns and understanding the transitions between such regimes are key to advancing our knowledge on the low-frequency variability of the atmosphere an…
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…
Applications of large deviation theory in geophysical fluid dynamics and climate science
Vera Melinda Galfi, Valerio Lucarini, Francesco Ragone +1
The climate system is a complex, chaotic system with many degrees of freedom and variability on a vast range of temporal and spatial scales. Attaining a deeper level of understandi…
Fingerprinting Heatwaves and Cold Spells and Assessing Their Response to Climate Change using Large Deviation Theory
Vera Melinda Galfi, Valerio Lucarini
Extreme events provide relevant insights into the dynamics of climate and their understanding is key for mitigating the impact of climate variability and climate change. By applyin…
A Large Deviation Theory-based Analysis of Heat Waves and Cold Spells in a Simplified Model of the General Circulation of the Atmosphere
Vera Melinda Galfi, Valerio Lucarini, Jeroen Wouters
We study temporally persistent and spatially extended extreme events of temperature anomalies, i.e. heat waves and cold spells, using large deviation theory. To this end, we consid…
Convergence of extreme value statistics in a two-layer quasi-geostrophic atmospheric model
Vera Melinda Galfi, Tamas Bodai, Valerio Lucarini
We search for the signature of universal properties of extreme events, theoretically predicted for Axiom A flows, in a chaotic and high dimensional dynamical system by studying the…
