Detectability of anthropogenic changes in annual temperature and precipitation extremes
This paper reports on a study of temperature and precipitation indices that may be suitable for the early detection of anthropogenic change in climatic extremes. Anthropogenic changes in daily minimum and maximum temperature and precipitation over land simulated with two different atmosphere-ocean general circulation models are analyzed. The use of data from two models helps to assess which cha...
متن کاملNon‐stationary return levels of CMIP5 multi‐model temperature extremes
During the period 1979–1992, on average nearly 400 people each year were killed in the United States by excessive heat (NOAA 1995; Kilbourne 1997). In fact, in this period over the United States, excessive heat accounted for more reported deaths annually than hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, and lightning combined (NOAA 1995). Furthermore, agriculture products such as wheat, rice, corn and maize ...
متن کاملQuantifying anthropogenic influence on recent near-surface temperature change
We assess the extent to which observed large-scale changes in near-surface temperatures over the latter half of the twentieth century can be attributed to anthropogenic climate change as simulated by a range of climate models. The hypothesis that observed changes are entirely due to internal climate variability is rejected at a high confidence level independent of the climate model used to simu...
متن کاملA Spatial Time Series Framework for Modeling Daily Precipitation at Regional Scales
Estimates of precipitation at regional scales constitute one of the most important input parameters for hydrologic impact assessment studies. At these scales, Limited Area Models (LAMs) provide an emerging means for enhancing the accuracy of precipitation predictions (Giorgi and Mearns, 1991; Kim and Soong, 1996; Miller and Kim, 1996; Kim et al., 1998). Dynamic downscaling using LAMs yield prec...
متن کاملA spatial time series framework for simulating daily precipitation at regional scales
A spatiotemporal stochastic simulation approach for constructing maps of daily precipitation at regional scales in a hindcast mode is proposed in this paper. Parametric temporal trend models of precipitation are first established at the available rain gauges. Temporal trend model parameters are then regionalized in space accounting for their spatial autoand cross-correlation, as well as for the...
