The WCRP Workshop on Extremes in Climate Prediction Ensembles (ExCEPns) was held online from 25th to 28th October 2021 sponsored by Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN), WCRP, Pusan National University, and APEC Climate Center. The focus of the workshop was to exploit subseasonal, seasonal, annual to decadal and longer-term prediction ensembles to improve the prediction and understanding of extreme weather and climate events. There were 42 oral talks and 31 poster presentations in six sessions.
Weather and climate extremes have enormous impacts on society, and are becoming more severe and frequent as the world warms. Associated risks of heat waves/cold spells, droughts/floods, wind and other extremes are continually evolving in response to climate variations superimposed on forced climate changes. By providing many realizations of climate-system evolution from observation-based initial conditions, climate prediction ensembles offer a powerful tool to better quantify these risks, delineate possibilities for unprecedented extremes, and understand the underlying physical mechanisms and attribution of such events.
