Published Article on “A new statistical method of rapid event attribution for probability of extreme events: applications to heatwave events in Japan”

An article on “A new statistical method of rapid event attribution for probability of extreme events: applications to heatwave events in Japan” by Associate Professor Tomohiro Tanaka, Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University, in collaboration with Project Assistant Professor Chiaki Takahashi and Associate Professor Yukiko Imada of the Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, the University of Tokyo, and Director Hiroaki Kawase of the Meteorological Research Institute, Japan Meteorological Agency, was published.  In the abstract they “confirmed that this approach can successfully estimate the probability of several past extreme temperature events in Japan under the factual and counterfactual climate conditions which is comparable to the estimation of conventional LE method. This new rapid EA method will be applicable to other types of extreme events and to events all over the world.”
