Jetstream – Variability and Consequences for Weather & Climate

Description

The lecture discusses the role of the jet stream over the North Atlantic in shaping Europe's weather and climate. It explains how variations in the jet stream's strength and position are linked to extreme weather phenomena such as cold spells, storms, and heavy rainfall. Attendees will learn how simple ground-based pressure indicators can determine the jet stream's characteristics, allowing for historical reconstruction and future climate projections through simulations. The presentation also covers the causes and impacts of these fluctuations.

Highlights

Insights into jet stream fluctuations; connection to extreme weather events; methods for historical and future climate analysis; presented by Prof. Dr. Stefan Brönnimann.
