  • 9/18 Could Summer 2023 Have Been Even Hotter?

    Could the extreme heat of summer 2023 have been even worse? Using a 7,424-member machine-learning weather ensemble, this talk explores plausible worst-case temperature extremes and what very large ensembles can reveal beyond conventional weather simulations and statistical extrapolation.
