ClimaMeter is a rapid experimental framework for putting weather extremes in a climate perspective, developed by the ESTIMR team at the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement (Institut Pierre Simon Laplace) in Paris-Saclay. ClimaMeter is led by Davide Faranda (CNRS & London Mathematical Laboratory), Mathieu Vrac (CNRS), Pascal Yiou (CEA-Saclay) & Robert Vautard (IPSL), in collaboration with Gabriele Messori (Uppsala University, Uppsala), Erika Coppola (International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste) and Tommaso Alberti (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Rome).

We provide an easily interpretable contextualisation of extreme weather immediately after the actual event, as well as a more technical description and discussion of the event with a slightly longer delay. 

You can find the most recent events here, and a list of past events here.

Contributors

The Methodology employed in ClimaMeter has been developed over several years by the ESTIMR team at LSCE. Davide Faranda, together with Pascal Yiou, Mathieu Vrac, Robert Vautard, Soulivanh Thao and Flavio Pons collectively designed and refined the methodology that now underpins ClimaMeter's functionality. Other colleagues have also contributed to Climameter: Burak Bulut, Andreia Hisi, Yoann Robin, Mireia Ginesta, Robin Noyelle, Lia Rapella, Nemo Malhomme,  Meriem Krouma, Stella Bourdin, Camille Cadiou, Lucas Fery, Miriam d'Errico, George Miloshevich and Pradeebane Vayttinada.  International partners such as Gabriele Messori (Uppsala University), Erika Coppola (ICTP) and Tommaso Alberti (INGV) greatly contributed towards improving the methodology. 

The Visualization aspects of ClimaMeter trace their origins to the efforts of Marion Saint-Lu, Andreia Hisi, Mathieu Vrac, Gabriele Messori and Davide Faranda. They contributed their expertise within projects supported by the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace.

Handling the Communication endeavors of ClimaMeter is a proficient team led by Alain Mazaud, Nada Caud, Marc Delmotte, Gaëlle Porte, Isabelle Genau, Marie Pinhas, Catherine Senior and Manon Rousselle in collaboration with the wider communication teams at LSCE, IPSL, Uppsala University, ICTP, and INGV.

ClimaMeter scientific core group

The Scientific core group  of ClimaMeter is composed of  a consortium of international partners whose role is to select the extreme events to be analysed, perform the study, write the reports and answer press requests. We are open to collaboration! If you  are a climate scientist and wish to join the team as an external collaborator, please contact one of the members of the Scientific core group.
