Multi-Risk Forecasting: Operational Reality or Scientific Ambition?

Christopher J. White, Hedieh Soltanpour, Mario Bianco, Emma Brown and Darren Lumbroso April 27, 2026

Reflections from a workshop on multi-risk impact-based forecasting and warning systems for weather-related hazards. With mounting evidence that hazards rarely occur in isolation, the question is no longer whether multi-risk impact-based forecasting and warning systems are needed, but how to build them [1]. Yet, moving beyond single-hazard thinking towards genuinely multi-hazard and then …[Read More]

Beyond wind speed: what really controls air-sea gas exchange?

Yuanxu Dong April 23, 2026

When we think about what drives air-sea gas exchange (such as CO2), wind usually gets all the credit. Strong winds stir the surface, enhance turbulence, and speed up gas transfer. But a new study in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics shows there is more to the story: CO2 exchange does not just follow the wind, it …[Read More]
