See the seminar recording here:\n\n\n\nTom Knutson\nLead of Weather and Climate Dynamics Division\nNOAA/Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory\nMonday May 18, 2020\nESSIC Conference Room 4102, 5825 University Research Court, College Park 20740\n \nAbstract:\nWhile the impact of anthropogenic forcing on global mean temperature and other temperature-related variables has now been relatively well-established even at regional scales, the link between anthropogenic forcings and many other important climate variables remains more difficult to establish. In this talk, I explore a regional-based view of the problem of detecting/attributing human influence on climate, with a particular focus on regional tropical cyclone activity, mean annual precipitation, and sea level pressure trends.\nThese are all examples of climate variables where the science of detection/attribution is more challenged, where climate models still struggle to simulate regional historical trends that are consistent with observed trends, and thus where future projections continue to have large uncertainties for important regional projections.\nBio-sketch:\nTom Knutson is a climate scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, in Princeton, New Jersey, where he leads the Weather and Climate Dynamics Division. He is a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society, and has served as the Chair of the World Meteorological Organization’s Expert Team on Tropical Cyclones and Climate Change. He led a recent assessment on tropical cyclones and climate change, which was published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society in 2019. He was the lead author of the chapter on “Detection and Attribution of Climate Change” in the U.S. Climate Science Special Report. His recent research has been on detecting human influence on regional precipitation and atmospheric circulation trends.\nWebinar info:\nEvent site: http://go.umd.edu/knutson ( http://go.umd.edu/knutson )\nEvent number: 478 573 621\nEvent password: essic\n——————————————————-\nTo join the online event\n——————————————————-\n1. Click here ( https://umd.webex.com/umd/onstage/g.php?MTID=e7e5189980c6deb6667d0736346c4ec6b ) to join the online event.\n\nClick “Join Now”.\n——————————————————-\nTo join the audio conference only\n——————————————————-\nUS Toll: +1-415-655-0002\nGlobal call-in numbers ( https://umd.webex.com/umd/globalcallin.php?MTID=e492bfe8c2d628cca31b7c1f3b7185bcf )\n\nAccess code: 478 573 621\n——————————————————-\nFor IT assistance\n——————————————————-\nCazzy Medley: cazzy@umd.edu ( mailto:cazzy@umd.edu )\nTravis Swaim: tswaim1@umd.edu ( mailto:tswaim1@umd.edu )\n URL:http://go.umd.edu/gassowebinar ORGANIZER;CN=John Xun Yang:MAILTO:jxyang@umd.edu CATEGORIES:Summer 2020 LOCATION:5825 University Research Ct, College Park, MD 20740 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://essic.umd.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/20200518-Mon-Tom.Knutson@Princeton.GFDL-1.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
