This research was part of my postdoctoral fellowship with Stanford Data Science and I am eternally grateful for the funding and freedom to dedicate to this project.
We first show that abrupt jumps in regional average summertime temperatures correspond to a significantly heightened likelihood of experiencing a three-day heat event over the same period.
I have recently started a new position as a Lecturer at the University of Auckland where I will continue researching regional climate change and extreme event predictability with a touch of machine learning. Anyone interested in working on these problems Down Under-er please reach out!
Our new preprint proposes a framework for predicting summertime temperature jumps on 1-5 year timescales.
