Ongoing global warming and local warm extremes: a case study of two record mild winter months in Helsinki, Finland
Jouni Räisänen from the University of Helsinki combines climate modelling and observations to look into climate on a local scale. In addition to relying on past observations, climate projections can complement the picture in practical planning not only in the long term, but already today. Climate events that have been unusual in the past, such as exceptionally mild winters, are expected to become more usual with time. This is reasonably already happening, leading to a need to complement traditional “climate normals".Download this paper here! (pdf, 180 kB)
