Meltwater in the North Atlantic can lead to European summer heatwaves, study finds
- Press release
- 23 February 2024
A new study reveals European summer weather is predictable months to years in advance, due to higher levels of freshwater in the North Atlantic. The paper, published in the EGU journal Weather and Climate Dynamics, outlines a chain of events leading to hotter and drier European summers.

Urban areas often show higher temperatures than their surrounding rural areas, especially during heat events. This phenomenon is called the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. The magnitude of the UHI effect is expressed by the absolute temperature difference between the rural and the urban area and can reach more than 10 °C. During past decades, the magnitude of the UHI effect has intensified in many cities around the world. The UHI effect is mainly caused by a higher heat storage …
Using rainy day temperatures to predict the future of 100-year downpours

It’s hard to overstate the importance of so-called “rainfall frequency analysis,” or the estimation of rare rainfall probabilities such as the 100-year storm. Billions of euros worth of infrastructure and planning decisions are made every year around the world based on such statistics. Unfortunately, extreme short-duration rainfall—meaning very high rainfall rates over a few minutes to a few hours—is becoming more intense throughout the globe due to climate change. This means that existing rainfall frequency analyses are or will soon …
Exploring rheology of Earth’s materials: The marvels of high-temperature high-pressure deformation experiments

The Earth, with its towering mountains, shifting tectonic plates, and dynamic geological processes, has always been a subject of fascination and inquiry for scientists. Amidst the vast array of scientific disciplines, one relatively small yet impactful field, known as experimental rock deformation, plays a crucial role in unraveling the mysteries hidden beneath the Earth’s surface. Though the number of experimentalists is modest, the implications of their work extend far beyond the laboratory, influencing a myriad of scientific applications. This discipline …
