Data-driven upper bounds and event attribution for unprecedented heatwaves by Mark D. Risser, Likun Zhang, Michael F. Wehner

“…In the aftermath of these devastating events, there is interest in identifying worst-case thresholds or upper bounds that quantify just how hot temperatures can become. Generalized Extreme Value theory provides a data-driven estimate of extreme thresholds; however, upper bounds may be exceeded by future events, which undermines attribution and planning for heatwave impacts. …”
