APPENDIX A
Statement of Task
An ad hoc National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine committee will examine the science of attribution of specific extreme weather events to human-caused climate change and natural variability. Specifically, the committee will:
- Provide an assessment of current scientific understanding and capabilities for attribution of specific extreme weather events to climate change.
- Provide guidance about the robustness of extreme event attribution science. The guidance should discriminate among different attribution approaches and different classes of extreme events, and should consider various characteristics of the analysis (e.g., data coverage and quality, model performance, etc.).
- Identify research priorities for further development of the approaches.
