AOS Colloquium Series – Tiffany Shaw

Much has been learned about the response of the mean atmospheric circulation under climate change. Much less is known about how circulation extremes will respond to climate change. This is in contrast to our understanding of thermodynamic extremes. In this talk, Tiffany Shaw, professor of geophysical sciences, University of Chicago, we will show circulation extremes, representing upper-level jet streaks and extreme jet stream waviness, exhibit a fast-get-faster response under climate change.
