Risk of extreme high fatalities due to weather and climate hazards and its connection to large-scale climate variability

In this study, a disaster database is used to investigate continentally aggregated fatality data for trends as well as examine whether modes of climate variability affect the propensity of fatalities. Furthermore, the fatality risk is quantified by computing effective return periods which depend on modes of climate variability.
