SUMMARY:Attributing climate and weather extremes to Northern Hemisphere se
 a ice and terrestrial snow - Dr. Kunhui Ye (University of Oxford)

DESCRIPTION:Sea ice and snow are crucial components of the cryosphere and 
 the climate system. Both sea ice and spring snow in the Northern Hemispher
 e (NH) have been decreasing at an alarming rate in a changing climate. Cha
 nges in NH sea ice and snow have been linked with a variety of climate and
  weather extremes including cold spells\, heatwaves\, droughts and wildfir
 es. Understanding of these linkages will benefit the predictions of climat
 e and weather extremes. However\, existing work on this has been largely f
 ragmented and is subject to large uncertainties in physical pathways and m
 ethodologies. This has prevented further substantial progress in attributi
 ng climate and weather extremes to sea ice and snow change\, and will pote
 ntially risk the loss of a critical window for effective climate change mi
 tigation. In this talk\, I will present a brief overview of our current re
 search progress in attributing climate and weather extremes to sea ice and
  terrestrial snow in the NH. Moreover\, I will highlight the limitations o
 f current methodologies and challenges in the attributions. Finally\, I wi
 ll discuss some suggestions for future research to advance our understandi
 ng of cryospheric driving of extreme events.
