Compound Climate Extremes in North America and Europe: from dynamics to predictability ("CENÆ")
The CENÆ project investigates how cold spells, heavy rain, and strong winds combine to create compound climate extremes with significant socio-economic impacts across Europe and North America.

Description
CENÆ is an ERC Starting Grant Funded by the European Union’s H2020 program, which explores the interactions between multiple climate extremes. The research focuses on understanding atmospheric precursors to these compound events, improving predictability, and assessing their evolution in the context of climate change. By integrating atmospheric modeling with real-world observations, CENÆ aims to provide insights that can support better forecasting and mitigation strategies for climate-related risks.
