This session considers extreme weather events that lead to desasterous hazards. These can, e.g., be tropical or extratropical rain- and wind-storms, hail, tornadoes or lightning events, but also floods, long-lasting periods of drought, periods of extremely high or of extremely low temperatures, etc. Papers are sought which contribute to the understanding of their occurrence (conditions, meteorological development), to an estimation of their (regional) risk or return periods, to the ability of models to reproduce them and methods to forecast them or produce warnings at different lead times from nowcasting to future climate change. Papers are also encouraged that look at complex extreme events. These are events produced by combinations of factors that are not extreme by themselves for example dust storms originating from a moderate drought period and a moderate storm. The session serves as a forum for the interdisciplinary exchange of research approaches and results, involving meteorology, hydrology and/or applications like insurance issues.
