Peter Hoffmann examines the long-term change and criticality of recurring weather/circulation patterns across Europe and evaluates them in the context of climate change. Improved knowledge of the meteorological causes makes it possible to better understand the development of hydroclimatic extremes (heat waves, droughts and permanent rainfalls) in future scenarios.
