Peer-reviewed Research
ClimaMeter graces the public eye pre-peer review, ensuring timely release of post-event results. Many of our studies find a lasting home in top-level peer-reviewed journals. 📝
ClimaMeter protocol is fully peer reviewed, you can find the paper explaining the methodology here:
Faranda, D., Messori, G., Coppola, E., Alberti, T., Vrac, M., Pons, F., Yiou, P., Saint Lu, M., Hisi, A. N. S., Brockmann, P., Dafis, S., Mengaldo, G., and Vautard, R.: ClimaMeter: contextualizing extreme weather in a changing climate, Weather Clim. Dynam., 5, 959–983, https://doi.org/10.5194/wcd-5-959-2024, 2024.
Please note that the data used after December 6, 2024, are ERA5 reanalysis completed with GFS forecasts (for the very recent dates) instead of MSWX data. Furthermore, the gauge indicators in the reports' figures are updated to enhance clarity.
We've also delved into methodological papers, not tethered to any singular event but contributing to a richer understanding of climate extremes. 🌐
