Frequency anomalies and characteristics of extratropical cyclones during extremely wet, dry, windy, and calm seasons in the extratropics by H. Binder, H. Wernli

“…However, a global statistical characterisation of observed extreme seasons is challenging because at any specific location, very few such seasons occurred during the limited period with available reanalysis datasets. This study therefore uses 1050 years of present-day (1990–1999) climate simulations of the Community Earth System Model Large Ensemble (CESM-LE) and 71 years (1950–2020) of ERA5 reanalyses to systematically identify extremely wet, dry, windy, and calm seasons in the extratropics during winter and summer and to quantify the role of extratropical cyclones in their occurrence. …”
