WCRP-UNESCO (GEWEX/CLIVAR/IHP) Workshop on metrics and methodologies of estimation of extreme climate and weather events. 27-29 September 2010, UNESCO headquarters, Paris, France.
The Workshop focus is on phenomenology and methodological aspects of the quantitative
estimation of different weather and climate extremes under observed and future climate
conditions using observational and model data. The Workshop aim is to facilitate an open
dialogue of climatologists from different areas (meteorology, hydrology, oceanography), data
producers (in-situ, satellites, NWP, climate model community), and statisticians on the future
strategy for the development of robust and reliable characteristics of extremes and optimal
methodologies for their estimation.
