Explaining Extreme Events of 2015 from a Climate Perspective (2016, background): “This results in a reduction of evaporation and cloud cover associated with soil drying, enhancing Tmax and TXx more than Tmin and TNx through increased daytime downward shortwave radiation and decreased daytime upward latent heat f lux (Vautard et al. 2007; Fischer and Schär 2010; Mueller and Senevi”
Changes in the severity of compound drought and hot extremes over global land areas (2018, background): “In addition, the dry condition may lead to the increase of local temperature due to the land atmosphere interaction during summer, especially in transitional climate regimes (Hirschi et al 2011, Mueller and Seneviratne 2012, Koster et al 2016).”
Different mechanisms for the extremely hot central-eastern China in July–August 2022 from a Eurasian large-scale circulation perspective (2023, background): “Preceding low soil moisture always amplifies heatwaves through surface energy balance (Zhang andWu 2011,Mueller and Seneviratne 2012).”
Substantial increase in concurrent droughts and heatwaves in the United States (2015, background): “Sustained precipitation deficit in summer can be a contributory factor to hot summer days (17).”
Global gross primary productivity and water use efficiency changes under drought stress (2017, background): “Studies have also revealed that drought extremes often lead to decreased ETand cooling effect, and thereby intensified warming effect (Teuling et al 2010, Mueller and Seneviratne 2012).”
Negative impacts of climate change on cereal yields: statistical evidence from France (2017, background): “Another limitation of the statistical approach is that positive temperature anomalies may be operating as proxies for short dry spells not captured by seasonal precipitation variables [33, 34] so temperature-driven damages on crop yields are implicitly assuming a fixed covariance between high temper”
Climate Change and Global Food Systems: Potential Impacts on Food Security and Undernutrition. (2017, background): “Crop water stress is also a major driver of yield loss (103, 137) and is generally coupled with high temperatures both because low soil moisture leads to a decrease in evaporative cooling from the landscape (104) and because high temperatures increase crop water loss (90).”
Human contribution to the record-breaking June and July 2019 heatwaves in Western Europe (2020, background): “…in southern France and other regions with Mediterranean climate and is getting stronger in central Europe with global warming (because of decreased evaporational cooling if soil moisture levels become limiting for plants’ transpiration; e.g. Seneviratne et al (2010), Mueller and Seneviratne (2012).”
Effects of climate extremes on the terrestrial carbon cycle: concepts, processes and potential future impacts (2015, methodology): “Droughts and extreme high temperatures (heat waves), both to be considered climate extremes in their own right, cannot be seen as independent phenomena as in many (transitional climate) regions droughts additionally are connected with high temperature extremes (Mueller & Seneviratne, 2012) (Fig.”
Dependence of drivers affects risks associated with compound events (2017, background): “S1), is to a large extent driven by land surface feedbacks (24–26), associated with impacts of soil moisture limitation on surface temperature (25, 27).”
