What are Extremes and Why Do They Matter? ; 2. Temperature-Related Extremes ; 3. Precipitation Extremes ; 4. Drought ; 5. Storms ; 6. What Measures Can Be Taken to Improve the Understanding of Weather and Climate Extremes? ; 1. WHY WEATHER AND CLIMATE EXTREMES MATTER ; 1.1. Weather and Climate Extremes Impact People, Plants, and Animals. 
505 8 |a 1.2. Extremes are Changing 1.3. Nature and Society are Sensitive to Changes in Extremes ; 1.4. Future Impacts of Changing Extremes also Depend on Vulnerability ; 1.5. Systems are Adapted to the Historical Range of Extremes so Changes in Extremes Pose Challenges; 1.6. Actions Can Increase or Decrease the Impact of Extremes ; 1.7. Assessing Impacts of Changes in Extremes Is Difficult ; 1.8. Summary and Conclusions ; 2. OBSERVED CHANGES IN WEATHER AND CLIMATE EXTREMES ; 2.1. Background ; 2.2. Observed Changes and Variations in Weather and Climate Extremes. 
505 8 |a 2.3. Key Uncertainties Related to Measuring Specific Variations and Change 3. CAUSES OF OBSERVED CHANGES IN EXTREMES AND PROJECTIONS OF FUTURE CHANGES ; 3.1. Introduction ; 3.2. What are the Physical Mechanisms of Observed Changes in Extremes? ; 3.3. Projected Future Changes in Extremes, their Causes, Mechanisms, and Uncertainties ; 4. MEASURES TO IMPROVE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF WEATHER AND CLIMATE EXTREMES; 4.1. The Continued Development and Maintenance of High Quality Climate Observing Systems will Improve Our Ability to Monitor and Detect Future Changes in Climate Extremes. 
505 8 |a 4.4. Extended Recontructions of Past Climate Using Weather Models Initialized with Homogenous Surface Observations Would Help Improve Our Understanding of Strong Extratropical Cyclones and other Aspects of Climate Variability4.5. The creation of Annually-Resolved, Regional-Scale Reconstructions of the Climate for the Past 2,000 Years Would Help Improve Our Understanding of Very Long-Term Regional Climate Variability ; 4.6. Improvements in Our Understanding of the Mechanisms that Govern Hurricane Intensity Would Lead to Better Short- and Long-Term Predictive Capabilities.
