There is a growing need to understand how extreme weather phenomena will change in the future under climate change and therefore how such phenomena emerge from the climate system in general. This session seeks novel research bridging the gap between climate and extreme weather, with an emphasis on uncovering the underlying physical processes that generate extremes and the mechanisms by which their statistics vary across climate states, including under global warming. We welcome studies of all types of extreme weather—such as severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, extreme precipitation, heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, winter storms, and compound events. Contributions employing a wide range of approaches are sought, including idealized and high-resolution climate modeling, advanced statistics and machine learning, observational and historical data analysis, and theory.
